摘要
The present work studied the formation of new phases by adding alloying additions (Ca, Sr, and Ce) in AZ31 alloy at micro-levels (approximately 0.2 wt.% per element). Quantitative electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) was used to identify the compositions of these phases; a comparison in the morphology and distribution of an identical phase in different alloy systems was made; and the thermodynamic software of FactSage (TM) was utilized to calculate the possible intermetallic phases during solidification. The results of EPMA showed the existence of phases other than Mg-17(Al, Zn)(12) and Al8Mn5 in AZ31 alloy, namely: Al2Ca, Al2Sr, Al-11 Ce-3, Al8CeMn4, and Al-2(Ca Sr); and these new phases were thermally stable at 450 degrees C for 10h. The morphology and distribution of second phases in different alloy systems were self-consistent. These phases were well predicted by FactSage (TM) with recent light alloy database.
