Under the cold-chamber high pressure die casting (HPDC) process, samples were produced with AM60B magnesium alloy to investigate the microstructure characteristics of the eutectics, especially focusing on the constitution, morphology and distribution of the eutectics over cross section of the castings. Attentions were also paid to study the effect of heat treatment on the eutectics in the die castings. Based on experimental analysis using optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), it was determined that fully divorced eutectics consisting of α-Mg and β-Mg17Al12 appeared at the grain boundary of the primary α-Mg in the as-cast microstructure. Islands and networks of β-Mg17Al12 phase were observed in the central region of the castings, while the β-Mg17Al12 phase revealed a more dispersed and granular morphology on the surface layer. The two phases ratio β/α in the central region of the castings was approximately 10%, which was higher than that on the surface layer. Besides, the defect bands contained a higher percentage of the eutectics than the adjacent regions. After aging treatment (T6), only α-Mg phase was detected by XRD in the AM60B magnesium alloy, though a small amount of precipitated β-Mg17Al12 phase was observed at the grain boundary. In contrast to the microstructure of die cast AZ91D magnesium alloy under the same T6 heat treatment, no discontinuous precipitation of the β-Mg17Al12 phase was observed in AM60B magnesium alloy die castings.

在AM60B镁合金熔炼过程中加入混合稀土Y,Gd并辅以超声熔体处理工艺制备合金,利用光学显微镜(OM)、透射电镜(TEM)和万能试验机,研究了添加复合稀土和超声处理对镁合金微观组织和力学性能的影响,分析了其作用机制.结果表明,添加混合稀土Y,Gd后,未经超声处理的试样,稀土化合物存在于合金组织中,阻碍了位错和晶界滑移,α-Mg基体晶粒明显细化,β相减少,合金抗拉强度σb和延伸率δ分别达到257 MPa和9％,强度提高约20％.施加超声处理能进一步细化合金组织,使得α-Mg基体晶粒更加等轴细小,抑制β相在晶界处的连续网状分布.稀土相趋于弥散均匀分布,促进了稀土元素的细晶强化作用,使合金抗拉强度提高到269 MPa,延伸率达到11％.当稀土添加量超过一定范围后,稀土相开始粗化并割裂基体,这时超声处理对合金组织的改善作用有限,合金力学性能呈现下降的趋势.
