Abstract:The effects of Zn and Cu addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the extruded Mg-3Sn-1Ca alloy were systematically studied. The effects of the grain size, texture, type and distribution of the second phase on the mechanical properties of the alloy were analyzed. The mechanical test results show that the addition of Zn and Cu elements can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the alloy. The as-extruded Mg-3Sn-1Ca-1Zn-1Cu alloy has the best comprehensive mechanical properties, an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
