Microstructural Evolution during Partial Melting and Semisolid Forming Behaviors of Two Hot-Extruded Magnesium-Rare Earth Alloys

Reheating experiments and semisolid compression tests were conducted on two hot-extruded magnesium-rare earth (Mg-RE) alloys, Mg-8.20Gd-4.48Y-0.36Zr-3.34Zn and Mg-3.75Gd-5.15Y-0.75Zr-3.05Zn by using a multistage hot compression test machine. Dissolution of eutectic compounds, growth of grains, and p...

description Reheating experiments and semisolid compression tests were conducted on two hot-extruded magnesium-rare earth (Mg-RE) alloys, Mg-8.20Gd-4.48Y-0.36Zr-3.34Zn and Mg-3.75Gd-5.15Y-0.75Zr-3.05Zn by using a multistage hot compression test machine. Dissolution of eutectic compounds, growth of grains, and partial melting took place during the reheating of these Mg-RE alloys and resulted in spherical semisolid slurries at certain temperatures (580 °C for Mg–8.20Gd–4.48Y–3.34Zn–0.36Zr, 560 °C for Mg-3.75Gd-5.15Y-0.75Zr-3.05Zn). Owing to the different alloying element contents of these two Mg-RE alloys, eutectic compounds with different morphologies were found inside them after reheating and rapid cooling processes. The forming characteristics of these two Mg-RE alloys in semisolid state were discussed based on the results of compression tests.
