Abstract
Dilute Mg alloys based upon earth abundant Al, Zn, and Ca (along with minor additions of Mn and Zr) exhibit attractive combinations of strength, ductility, and workability via high-speed extrusion. These alloys derive their strength from high number densities of ordered, single atomic layer Guinier-Preston (GP) zones. The present study explores the potential of two quaternary Mg-Zn-Ca-Zr (ZXK210 and ZXK310) alloys produced as sheet materials. The anisotropic plastic responses of the two alloys are described using an elasto-viscoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC) polycrystal plasticity model. Similar to what was observed in AXM alloys with Mg-Ca-Al GP zones, prismatic slip is more potently strengthened than basal slip. The Mg-Zn-Ca GP zones are found to be intrinsically stronger and have a higher antiphase domain boundary energy than the Mg-Al-Ca GP zones. Finally, it is shown that the ZXK alloys are immune from natural over-aging.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
