A1 - Adeva, Paloma T1 - Reverse tension /compression asymmetry of a Mg–Y–Zn alloys JF - Materials Science & Engineering N2 - Room temperature mechanical behavior of extruded Mg–Y–Zn alloys with varying fractions of LPSO phase was studied in tension and compression along the extrusion direction. The microstructure is characterized by elongated LPSO fibers along the extrusion direction within the magnesium matrix. Moreover, the magnesium matrix presents a bimodal grain structure with dynamically-recrystallized grains and deformed, elongated grains with the basal plane parallel to the extrusion direction. The beginning of plasticity depends on the volume fraction of deformed and DRX grains. Alloys with low volume fraction of LPSO phase(o10vol%),with a high volume fraction of deformed grains, show the typical behavior of extruded magnesium alloys where yield stress in tension is higher than in compression. This effect is, however, reversed as the volume fraction of the LPSO phase increases since DRX grains are majority.

A1 - Adeva, Paloma T1 - Low alloyed Mg-Y/RE-Zn alloys: mechanical and corrosion behaviour N2 - Mg-Y,RE-Zn systems present second phases with high thermal stability, promoting the increase of strength and creep resistance at high temperatures. Mg and its alloys have a potential application as biomaterials due to their biocompatibility and degradation behaviour. The dominant corrosion mechanism in those alloys is the microgalvanic corrosion through coupling of the more noble second phases with the Mg matrix, and therefore a low concentration of those was sought.
