Effects of Zr and B on the structure and tensile properties of Al–20%Mg alloy
چکیده انگلیسی


• Microstructural and tensile properties of Al–20%Mg alloy were investigated.
• Addition of 0.5 wt.% Zr/B to the alloy refined the microstructure.
• The highest UTS and elongation values obtained after adding 0.5% Zr/B.
• Fracture behavior was found to be affected by refiners.

In current research, the effects of different Zr and B contents on the structure and tensile properties of Al–20%Mg alloy have been investigated by using Al–15Zr and Al–8B master alloys. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to study the microstructures and fracture surfaces. Microstructural analysis of the cast alloy showed dendrites of primary α-phase within the eutectic matrix which consists of β-Al3Mg2 intermetallic and α-solid solution. After tensile testing, the optimum amounts for both Zr and B were found to be 0.5 wt.%. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) value of the unrefined alloy increased from 168 MPa to 243 MPa and 236 MPa by adding 0.5% Zr and 0.5%B, respectively. The main mechanism for UTS enhancement was found to be due to the refinement of grains and also altering large dendrites of Al(α)-phase to finer structure. The study of fracture faces revealed that B/Zr addition changes the mode of fracture from brittle to rather ductile.
