摘要

The Mg-12Gd-1Er-1Zn-0.9Zr(wt％)alloy with ultra-high strength and ductility was developed via hot extrusion combined with pre-deformation and two-stage aging treatment.The age-hardening behavior and microstructure evolution were inves-tigated.Pre-deformation introduced a large number of dislocations,resulting in strain hardening and higher precipitation strengthening in the subsequent two-stage aging.As a result,the alloy showed a superior strength-ductility balance with a yield strength of 506 MPa,an ultimate tensile strength of 549 MPa and an elongation of 8.2％at room temperature.The finer and denser β'precipitates significantly enhanced the strength,and the bimodal structure,small β-Mg5RE phase as well as dense y'precipitates ensured the good ductility of the alloy.It is suggested that the combination of pre-deformation and two-stage aging treatment is an effective method to further improve the mechanical properties of wrought Mg alloys.
