摘要
The precipitation sequence in a Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.4Zr (wt.%) alloy during isothermal ageing at 250 C has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the precipitation sequence involves super-saturated solid solution (S.S.S.S.) -> beta"(D0(19)) beta'(cbco) -> beta(1)(fcc) -> beta(fcc), which is similar to that of WE54 alloy but different from previously reported three-stage sequence: S.S.S.S. -> beta"(D0(19)) -> beta'(cbco) -> beta(bcc). The metastable beta' phase, which plays an important role for the age hardening of the alloy, has a shape of convex lens and is very thermally stable at 250 degrees C. Formation of beta(1) phase appears to take place via an in situ transformation from a decomposed beta' phase. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
