摘要
The microstructure evolution of Mg-Al-Ca alloys modified by the addition of strontium was investigated. It was found that Sr addition leads to the coarsening of α-Mg matrix. However, with the Sr content increasing from 0.1% to 0.5%, the grain size decreases from 83.9 to 65.8 μm. The addition of Sr ranging from 0.1% to 0.3% refines the Al2Ca phase. It changes the morphology of the Al2Ca phase from bone-shaped to granular or banding, and increases its volume fraction. The decrease of grain size of the α-Mg matrix is due to the increase of the effective undercooling degree of the melt and the constitutional undercooling in a diffusion layer ahead of the advancing solid/liquid interface in the alloy modified by the Sr additions. The modification mechanism of Al2Ca is attributed to the adsorption of Sr additions to the Al2Ca crystal. When the Sr content increases to 0.5%, the alloy is over-modified.
研究Sr对Mg-Al-Ca铸造合金微观组织演变的影响。研究发现,微量Sr会导致镁基体组织轻微粗化。当Sr含量从0.1%增加至0.5%时,镁基体的晶粒尺寸由83.9μm减小到65.8μm。添加0.1%-0.3%Sr对Al2Ca相有显著的变质细化作用,同时,使其形貌从条状转化为球状。Al2Ca的含量随着Sr元素的添加而有所增加。镁基体晶粒细化主要是由于Sr的添加增加了熔体的有效过冷度以及合金固/液界面前沿区域形成很强的成分过冷效应引起的。Sr对Al2Ca的变质作用主要归因于Sr在Al2Ca晶体上的吸附。当Sr含量增加至0.5%时,合金会出现过变质现象。
