Structure and Mechanical Properties of Deformed Mg–Sm–Tb–Zr Alloys

  • Published:
Russian Metallurgy (Metally) Aims and scope

Abstract

The structure, aging kinetics, and mechanical properties of new Mg–Sm–Tb–Zr alloys, which are prepared by hot extrusion and differ in the content of rare-earth metals and their ratio, are studied. Samarium and terbium are found to differently affect recrystallization during deformation and the character of strengthening, which occurs in the course of additional aging for different times and results from the decomposition of a magnesium-based solid solution. The mechanical properties of the alloys subjected to hot extrusion and aging, in particular, upon heating in the temperature range up to 300°C, are determined.
