简介:InordertoimprovethecorrosionandmechanicalpropertiesofAM50magnesiumalloy,1wt.%GdwasusedtomodifytheAM50magnesiumalloy.Themicrostructure,corrosionandmechanicalpropertieswereevaluatedbyX-raydiffraction(XRD),scanningelectronmicroscopy(SEM),energydispersivespectroscopy(EDS),electrochemicalandmechanicalstretchmethods.Theresultsindicatedthatβ-Mg17Al12phasedecreasedandAl2Gd3andAl0.4GdMn1.6phaseexistedafterGdaddition.BecauseoftheGdaddition,thegrainofAM50magnesiumalloywasrefinedsignificantly,whichimprovedthetensilestrengthofAM50magnesiumalloy.Thedecreasingofβphaseimprovedthecorrosionresistanceofthemagnesiumalloy.ThefracturemechanismoftheGdmodifiedAM50magnesiumalloywasquasi-cleavagefracture.Thecorrosionresidualstrength(CRS)ofAM50magnesiumalloywasimprovedafter1wt.%Gdaddition.
