Abstract
The effect of addition temperature of MgO particles (MgOp) on their dispersion behavior and the efficiency of grain refinement in AZ31 Mg alloy was investigated. In addition, the grain refinement mechanism was systematically studied by microstructure characterization, thermodynamic calculation, and analysis of solidification curves. The results show that the grain size of AZ31 Mg alloy initially decreases and then increases as the MgOp addition temperature is increased from 720 to 810 °C, exhibiting a minimum value of 136 μm at 780 °C. The improved grain refinement efficiency with increasing MgOp addition temperature can be attributed to the reduced Mg melt viscosity and enhanced wettability between MgOp and Mg melt. Furthermore, a corresponding physical model describing the solidification behavior and grain refinement mechanism was proposed.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
