摘要

Effects of aging treatment on microstructure, tensile properties, impact toughness and three-point bending properties of as-extruded Mg-6Gd-1Y-0.5Zr alloy were investigated. The significant precipitation strengthening effect was involved after aging treatment at 175 °C, primarily attributed to the β′ phase. The alloy aged at 175 °C for 270 h exhibited the best combination of tensile properties, with yield strength of 252 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 354 MPa and elongation to rupture of 11.7%. The fracture mode of the alloy changed from plastic to quasi-cleavage with the prolonged aging time. The as-aged alloy exhibited the declined impact toughness with the prolonged aging time, while the as-extruded state showed the highest value of 32.0 J·cm−2. Notably, the impact toughness at room temperature showed a stronger correlation with elongation to rupture rather than strength. The alloy aged at 175 °C for 360 h showed the highest bending fracture strength of 666 MPa. After bending, the inner zone exhibited the formation of { \(10\overline{1}{\text{2}}\) 10 1 ¯ 2 } tensile twins, with a lesser occurrence in the middle and outer zones. As the precipitates in the alloy increased, both the number and the area fraction of twins near the fracture surface decreased.
