Evolution of microstructure during tension in a Mg–Ca–Y–Zn–Mn alloy processed by rapidly solidified ribbon consolidation as revealed by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction
摘要
The tensile performance of a novel dilute Mg-Ca-Y-Zn-Mn alloy processed by rapidly solidified ribbon consolidation (RSRC) technique was investigated in situ by X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. Moreover, the same study was performed on specimens annealed at 300 and 400 °C for 2 h after RSRC processing. It was found that annealing at 300 °C had no considerable influence on the microstructure and, thus, on the tensile performance. On the other hand, the heat treatment at 400 °C yielded an increase in the recrystallized material fraction and the average grain size, coarsening of the secondary Mg2Ca phase particles as well as a decrease in the intensity of
