Abstract:

The evolutions of microstructure and texture and the corrosion behaviour of low light rare-earth containing Mg-1.4Nd and low heavy rare-earth containing Mg-0.6Gd and Mg-0.4Dy (wt.%) were evaluated and compared after processing by high-pressure torsion (HPT) and isochronal annealing at 250 and 450 °C for 1 h using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and electrochemical tests in a 3.5% (wt.%) NaCl solution. The EBSD results show that dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) was restricted in the Mg-1.4Nd alloy which led to a heterogenous deformation microstructure whereas the Mg-0.6Gd and Mg-0.4Dy alloys exhibited a homogenous deformation microstructure formed mostly of equiaxed dynamically recrystallised DRX grains. The HPT processing caused the development of a deviated basal texture in the three alloys. A good thermal stability of the three alloys was noticed after annealing at 250 °C. By contrast, annealing at 450 °C led to a homogenous equiaxed microstructure and weakening of texture for the Mg-1.4Nd alloy and a heterogenous bimodal microstructure with a stable basal texture for the Mg-0.6Gd and Mg-0.4Dy alloys. The HPT-processed Mg–RE alloys exhibited an improved corrosion resistance due to grain refinement. Thereafter, the corrosion resistance of the Mg-0.6Gd and Mg-0.4Dy alloys decreased with increasing annealing temperature due to an increase in grain size while the corrosion resistance of the Mg-1.4Nd alloy was improved after annealing at 450 °C due to precipitation and texture weakening.
