Microstructure and mechanical properties of rolled Mg-12Gd-3Y-0.4Zr alloy sheets

Mechanical Properties of Magnesium-Rare Earth Alloy Systems: A Review

“…This was reported to be due to the Mg24Y5 phase that is completely dissolved in Mg12(MM) (MM = Misch Metal) which is present around the grain boundaries. In [93], the authors reported that the rolling process has effectively reduced the grain size and improved the mechanical properties. The properties of the different alloys discussed above are reported in Table 19.…”

Microstructures and mechanical properties of high-strength Mg–Gd–Y–Zn–Zr alloy sheets processed by severe hot rolling

“…Due to the occurrence of significant grain refinement, the sheets are greatly strengthened and remarkably ductile [19]. However, there are few investigations on the preparation of Mg-Gd alloy sheets by severe rolling process [20,21]. Wang strength of 382 MPa, tensile yield strength of 310 MPa and elongation to failure of 4.4% [21].…”

Wang strength of 382 MPa, tensile yield strength of 310 MPa and elongation to failure of 4.4% [21]. And the alloy was extruded before severe hot rolling process in order to improve the ductility and avoid the occurrence of cracking during rolling deformation [21], which increased the processing cost of the sheet.…”

And the alloy was extruded before severe hot rolling process in order to improve the ductility and avoid the occurrence of cracking during rolling deformation [21], which increased the processing cost of the sheet. While the hot rolling was conducted directly to the cast Mg-Gd series alloys and usually the low-strain rolling process was adopted due to the low deformability of the cast alloys [22][23][24].…”

Microstructure and mechanical properties of rolled sheets of Mg–Gd–Y–Zn–Zr alloy: As-cast versus as-homogenized

“…Wrought processes such as extrusion, forging and rolling performed on the Mg-RE alloys have been extensively investigated [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Mg-1.8Gd-1.8Y-0.7Zn-0.2Zr (at.%) alloy with remarkable high ultimate tensile strength of 542 MPa, proof stress of 473 MPa and elongation to failure of 8% was successfully fabricated by indirect extrusion [6].…”
