Exploiting low levels of rare earth addition in Mg extrusion alloys
conference contribution
posted on 2010-01-01, 00:00 authored by Matthew BarnettMatthew Barnett, Aiden BeerAiden Beer, Dale Atwell, C Davies, T AbbottThe present work examines the extrusion and mechanical properties of MExlOO alloys, which contain levels of rare earth alloying additions up to 0.4 wt%. It is shown that these alloys can display the high extrudability of alloy Ml with strengths nearing those of AZ31. Most importantly, the grades display high room temperature ductility; values of total tensile elongation as high as 30% have been observed. These benefits derive from a combination of grain refinement and texture weakening.
