Abstract
Duplex-structured Mg-7Li-2Al-1.5Sn alloys with high strength were fabricated and their strengthening mechanism was investigated.The Mg-7Li-2Al-1.5Sn alloys were prepared by casting and extruded at the temperature of 533 K with an extrusion ratio of 25:1.The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-7Li-2Al-1.5Sn alloys were systematically investigated by OM,XRD,SEM,TEM,and tensile tests.The re-sults show that Mg-7Li-2Al-1.5Sn alloys are mainly composed of α-Mg,β-Li,LiMgAl2,Mg2Sn and Li2MgSn phases.The yield strength(YS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and elongation(EL)of the extruded al-loy at room temperature reach 250 MPa,324 MPa and 11.9%,respectively.A lot of Sn-rich precipitates(Mg2Sn and Li2MgSn)are precipitated during extrusion with an average size of~14 nm,which is ben-eficial to the grain refinement.Dynamic recrystallization occurs during hot deformation and the nano-precipitates effectively refine the dynamic recrystallized(DRXed)grains.Besides,the residual dislocations existed in DRXed and un-DRXed grains result in the dislocation strengthening in the extruded alloy.Mg-7Li-2Al-1.5Sn alloys possess excellent high-temperature mechanical properties with the YS,UTS and EL of 200 MPa,237 MPa and 26.7%at 423 K,respectively.Sn-rich precipitates with good thermal stability can effectively prevent grain growth,which is good for the improvement of the high-temperature perfor-mance of Mg-Li-Al-Sn alloy.
