Influences of Mg17Al12 Phase Morphology on the Mechanical Properties of AZ80 Magnesium Alloy Subjected to Aging

The influence of Mg17Al12 phase morphology on the mechanical properties AZ80 magnesium alloy subjected to aging was studied. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and hardness indentation were used reveal microstructural evolution alloys during aging. results show that mostly formed at grain boundaries with discontinuous lamellas 150 °C. In contrast, continuous short rod spherical particles transgranularly as aged 320 Both strength elongation under room temperature slightly improved via °C
