Abstract
Aging can effectively improve the mechanical properties of Mg alloys. The reinforcements can affect the aging kinetics of composites through interaction with the matrix. In this study, the effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the precipitation behavior of Mg-6Zn/GNPs composite was studied. The local region with high GNPs content exhibits a faster aging precipitation rate. Compared with Mg-6Zn alloy, the aging precipitation process of the composites has been accelerated as a whole. It is mainly attributed to the fact that the high density of dislocation near GNPs provides a high-speed channel between nucleation points and atoms for aging precipitation, which promotes aging precipitation. The strengthening effect of the composites mainly results from Orowan strengthening and fine grain strengthening generated by Mg4Zn7 and GNPs, respectively. The existence of GNPs enhances the aging hardening efficiency of the composites to a greater extent than that of the alloy matrix. This work provides a new approach for the design of aging behavior in magnesium matrix composites.
