Abstract
Intergranular corrosion (IGC) induced by the Mg-rich (β-Al3Mg2) precipitates in Al-Mg alloys during service presents significant safety risks and limits material development. Introducing trace Sc-Zr elements and TiB2 particles into the alloy creates a dual heterostructure with abundant low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs). The L12-Al3(Sc,Zr) nano-precipitates inhibit recrystallization and stabilize the microstructure by pinning grain boundaries. TiB2 particles refine the grain structure and promote LAGBs formation, reducing Mg-rich phase precipitation along grain boundaries. This alloy achieves high yield strength (∼381.5 MPa), elongation (∼11.2 %), and excellent IGC resistance, offering a novel approach to balancing mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in Al-Mg alloys.
