The oxidation behavior of Mg-Er binary alloys at 500 ℃

Abstract Magnesium alloys with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance are always sought-after in light-weighting structural components for automotive and aerospace applications. However, for most magnesium alloys that have a high specific strength, they usually have an inferior corrosion resistance and vice versa. In this work, we successfully develop a Mg-11Y-1Al (wt. %) alloy through conventional casting, solution treatment followed by extrusion. The overall properties of this alloy feature with a corrosion rate lower than 0.2 mm y −1 , high yield strength of 350 MPa and moderate tensile elongation of 8%, the combination of which shows competitive advantage over other comparative magnesium alloys in the literature. It is found that a thin and dense protective film of Y 2 O 3 /Y(OH) 3 can be fast developed with the aid of Al 2 O 3 /Al(OH) 3 deposition to isolate this alloy from further attack of corrosion medium. Meanwhile, the refined grains, weak texture and activation of non-basal slip systems co-contribute to the high strength and good ductility. Our findings are expected to inspire the design of next-generation high performance magnesium alloys.

Towards development of a high-strength stainless Mg alloy with Al-assisted growth of passive film

Generalized stacking fault (GSF) energies of the basal 0001 11 2 0 ，prismatic 10 1 0 11 2 0 and pyramidal 11 2 2 11 2 3 slip systems in the primary phase of Mg-Sn based-alloys have been studied using first-principles calculations in this work, where twenty-one third elements (X) have been taken in to consideration for their solution in primary (Mg, Sn) phase. The relative positions of Sn and X in Mg142Sn1X1 supercell have been determined by searching the minimum formation energies points. It is shown that, with alloying-elements of Sn and X, the unstable stacking fault energy ( γ us ) of the basal and prismatic slip systems are decreased compared with that of Mg144. For the pyramidal slip system, only certain second-alloying-elements, namely Ag, Al, Cd, Ga, In, Li and Zn, soluted into the Mg-Sn alloys, make the γ us lower than that of pure Mg. The atomic radius of element X has a significant impact on the γ us value of Mg142Sn1X1, and also indirectly affects the γ us by affecting the relative substitution positions of Sn and X atoms in the structure. Accordingly, the plastic formability parameters χ have been analyzed based on the calculated stacking fault energy (SFE) values. The effects of second-alloying-elements on GSF energies and χ provide a guidance for the design of high-performance multi-elements-alloying Mg alloys.
