Description
Summary:An ultrafine-grained (UFG) Mg-13Zn-1.55Y alloy (ZW132) with a high volume fraction (7.4%) of icosa-hedral phase (/-phase, Mg3Zn6Y) particles was prepared by applying high-ratio differential speed rolling(HRDSR) on the cast microstructure following homogenization. The alloy exhibited excellent superplas-ticity at low temperatures (tensile elongations of 455% and 1021% 473 K- 10^-3 S^-1 and 523 K- 10^-3 s^-1,respectively). Compared with UFG Mg-9.25Zn~ 1.66Y alloy (ZW92) with a lower volume fraction of I-phaseparticles (4.1%), which was prepared using the same processing routes, the UFG ZW132 alloy exhibited ahigher thermal stability of grain size. Rapid grain coarsening, however, occurred at temperatures beyond523 K, leading to a loss of superplasticity. The high-temperature deformation behavior of the HRDSR-processed ZW132 alloy could be well described assuming that the mechanisms of grain boundary slidingand dislocation climb creep competed with each other and considering that the grain-size was largelyincreased by accelerated grain growth at the temperatures beyond 523 K.
