Description
Summary:By means of optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses, the microstructures of as-cast and heat-treated Mg--4Zn-IY (wt%) alloy containing quasi-crystal phase were studied. The microstructure of the as-cast alloy consists of a-Mg solid solution grains, intermetallic particles and eutectic phases (W-phase and 1-phase), and huge grains with seri- ous dendritic segregation are clearly observed. After heat treatment, phase transformation and dissolution occur in the alloy and many phases remain. When the alloy was treated above 410 ~C, the eutectic phases transform into spherical shape as the I-phase turns to W-phase. After heat treatment for long time, the alloy is over burnt and the W-phase decomposes to Mg-Y binary phase.
