Development of novel lightweight and cost-effective Mg–Ce–Al wrought alloy with high strength

The low microalloying content and high yield strength of 365 MPa have been achieved simultaneously in extruded Mg–Ce–Al alloy which is mainly ascribed to the unexpected grain refinement (mean size of ∼420 nm). It is found that adding tiny Al (0.05 wt.%) into Mg–0.2 wt.% Ce alloy can promote the form...

description The low microalloying content and high yield strength of 365 MPa have been achieved simultaneously in extruded Mg–Ce–Al alloy which is mainly ascribed to the unexpected grain refinement (mean size of ∼420 nm). It is found that adding tiny Al (0.05 wt.%) into Mg–0.2 wt.% Ce alloy can promote the formation of Ce–Al-enriched segregation along dislocations and grain boundaries which can effectively counterbalance the thermally activated dislocation recovery and thus guarantee grain refinement. The ultra-fined grains are mainly related to both linear and planar cosegregation of solutes, rather than the traditional planar segregations and/or nanoprecipitations at grain boundaries.
