The load partition in Mg-Y-Zn system is studied by means of synchrotron diffraction. in-situ tensile tests disclose LPSO phases were for the first time proved to behave as an efficient reinforcement in Mg-Y-Zn alloys, therefore they could be treated as “short-fibre composite” for the modeling of mechanical behaviour.
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.
Microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour of WZ21 (%wt.) alloy prepared by a powder metallurgy route from rapidly solidified powders have been studied. Results were compared to those of the same alloy prepared through a conventional route of casting and extrusion. The microstructure of the extruded ingot consisted of α-Mg grains and Mg3Zn3Y2 (W-phase) and LPSO-phase particles located at grain boundaries. Moreover, stacking faults were also observed within α-Mg grains. The alloy processed by the powder metallurgy route exhibited a more homogeneous and finer microstructure, with a grain size of 2 µm. In this case W-phase and Mg24Y5 phase were identified, but not the LPSO-phase. The microstructural refinement induced by the use of rapidly solidified powders strengthened the alloy at room temperature and promoted superplasticity at higher strain rates. Corrosion behaviour in PBS medium evidenced certain physical barrier effect of the almost continuous arrangements of second phases aligned along the extrusion direction in conventionally processed WZ21 alloy, with a stable tendency around 7 mm/year. On the other hand, powder metallurgy processing promoted significant pitting corrosion, inducing accelerated corrosion rate during prolonged immersion times.
