The kinetics of the discontinuous precipitation and dissolution in Mg-rich Al alloys

TLDR
In this paper, the morphology and growth kinetics of discontinuous precipitation and dissolution reactions in supersaturated Mg-Al solid solutions containing 7.3, 9.1 and 10.9 at % Al have been investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray measurements.
Abstract
The morphology and growth kinetics of the discontinuous precipitation and dissolution reactions in supersaturated Mg-Al solid solutions containing 7.3, 9.1 and 10.9 at % Al have been investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray measurements. The volume fraction of regions transformed by the discontinuous precipitation reaction, the reaction front velocity, the interlamellar spacing and the average composition of the solute-depleted lamellae were determined as a function of the temperature. For the first time, the kinetics of the discontinuous dissolution reaction has been studied in the Mg-Al system. It has been shown that the transport of the solute atoms during both reactions is governed by grain boundary diffusion.

Discontinuous and continuous precipitation in magnesium–aluminium type alloys

TL;DR: The microstructure investigations of the AZ91 alloy and binary Mg-9.% Al alloy after different heat treatments were presented in this article, where it was shown that at intermediate ageing temperatures (473 and 543) both discontinuous and continuous precipitates occurred competitively.

The effect of Ca and RE elements on the precipitation kinetics of Mg17Al12 phase during artificial aging of magnesium alloy AZ91

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of simultaneous alloying with Ca and rare earth (RE) elements on the age hardening kinetics of AZ91 was studied through the fitting of the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) equation.

Dynamic recrystallization kinetics and microstructure evolution of an AZ91D magnesium alloy during hot compression

TL;DR: In this paper, the flow behavior of as-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy was evaluated by isothermal compression tests within the temperatures of 220 °C, 260′°c, 300′c, 340′C, and 380ò°C and the strain rates of 0.001, 0.1, 1 and 10s−1.

Accelerated precipitation behavior of cast Mg-Al-Zn alloy by grain refinement

TL;DR: This paper showed that the precipitation behavior of β-Mg 17 Al 12 phase during aging and the resultant variation in hardness and mechanical properties of cast Mg-Al-Zn alloy are strongly dependent on initial grain size.

Age hardening in a Mg-9 wt.% Al alloy

TL;DR: In this article, the precipitation process and age hardening mechanism in a Mg-9 wt.% Al alloy were studied principally by transmission electron microscopy, and no evidence for the formation of either G.P. zones or a transition lattice of the Mg17Al12 precipitate was obtained.
