Grain coarsening of magnesium alloys by beryllium

2004/10/1In principle, such a magnesium melt can be readily grain refined by zirconium. However, little grain refinement was observed from the addition of 0.5% of zirconium––the grain size remained to be approximately 2500 μm from ZM4 to ZM5 although the total).

2018/10/12Because of its high specific strength, stiffness and excellent casting properties, magnesium alloy has become the preferred material in engineering applications [1, 2]. In recent years, magnesium alloys containing the rare earth (RE) elements, particularly such as yttrium, has been attracting attention as a lightweight structural material having high strength used in automobile

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of AM50A

The average grain size in the hub region of die casting wheels was 60 μm and the average grain size of double control forming wheels was 20 μm. The microstructure of the AM50A magnesium alloy components consists of α-Mg and the second phase is Mg 17 Al 12 .

An exhaustive characterisation of the grain size, secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) distribution, and fraction of Mg17Al12 was performed using optical and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). These microstructural parameters were correlated to the offset yield point (Rp0.2), fracture strength, and elongation to failure of the material.

2013/7/18These dynamic factors are expected to diminish solute build-up ahead of the growing fronts, thereby diminishing the dependence of grain size on solute. An investigation has been made of high-intensity ultrasonication of pure magnesium, binary, and commercial magnesium alloys to determine the role of solute under such dynamic conditions.

Grain refinement of magnesium alloy AZ91E

Figure 5 shows that the grain size of magnesium alloy reduces with the increase of Si content. It can be seen from Figure 6, that a small amount (0.07 wt.%) of silicon addition to pure magnesium has a strong effect on grain refinement. A dramatic reduction on

Metal casting processes

R.Ganesh Narayanan, IITG Metal casting processes • Casting is one of the oldest manufacturing process. It is the first step in making most of the products. • Steps: - Making mould cavity - Material is first liquefied by properly heating it in a suitable furnace.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12.It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: all group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure.

Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys Casting Problems

To be effective, grain refiners must introduce controlled, predictable, and operative quantities of aluminides (and borides) in the correct form, size, and distribution for grain nucleation. Wrought refiner in rod form, developed for the continuous treatment of aluminum in primary operations, is available in sheared lengths for foundry use.

By increasing the annealing temperature from 473 K (200 C) to 673 K (400 C), the ratios of the average grain size divided by the extruded grain size for Mg–4.8Gd–1.2Al–1Zn, Mg–3Gd–3Al–1Zn, and Mg–6Al–1Zn alloys were respectively ∼3.3, 4, and 5.7.

Controlled Grain Refinement of Biodegradable Zn

The grain size distribution varies over a wide range between 25 and 430 m. The neighboring grains, irrespectively of size, were mostly separated by HAGBs. The addition of Mg caused the formation of a eutectic mixture composed of α-Zn and Mg 2 Zn 11 intermetallic phase.[ 12 ]

Grain Refiners – AMG Aluminum

Grain Refiners Close control of the cast structure is a major requirement in the production of high quality aluminum alloy products. The most effective way to provide a fine and uniform as-cast grain structure is to add nucleating agents to the melt to control crystal formation during solidification.

Finally a generalized relationship between the cooling rate and the grain size of different casting processes is developed in the form of a mathematical model. This model is used in concurrence with the analytical solution to determine the extent of skin thickness formed during solidification and the grain size distribution in the section of a high pressure die-cast instrument panel beam.
