Effect of grain size on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-4Y-3Nd-0.5Zr alloy

Abstract: Various grain sizes of an Mg-4Y-3Nd-0.5Zr alloy were obtained by changing the cooling rate in a casting with wall thickness from 10 to 70 mm, and the effect of grain size on the microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. When the cooling rate increased from 23.6 to 240.2 K min−1, the grain size of as-cast specimens decreased from 115 to 42 μm, and the sizes of the eutectic phase morphology decreased. The ultimate tensile strength and tensile yield strength for heat-treated materials decreased 1… Show more

“…The addition of the Zr element has diverse effects on magnesium alloys. Grain refinement has been proven to be an important method for simultaneously improving the strength and ductility of metals and alloys [ 55 , 56 ]. The addition of the Zr element can greatly refine the grain size of magnesium alloys and improve their resistance to heat.…”

“…In addition, alloying is also an effective method to refine the grain size of Mg-RE alloys, where Zr is the most commonly used grain refiner [14,15]. However, Zr refinement has the disadvantages of high cost, easy sedimentation, and low yield [16].…”
