Fabrication of AZ31/Mg3Y Composites with Excellent Strength and Plasticity via Accumulated Rolling Bonding and Diffusion Annealing

Abstract

AZ31/Mg3Y composites with a layer thickness of 100–200 μm were fabricated by accumulated rolling bonding (ARB), which was followed by diffusion annealing at 300 °C for 0–32 h. An interface layer, containing numerous Al-Y precipitates, is formed in the Mg3Y layer that is adjacent to the interface as a result of Al diffusing from the AZ31 layers into the Mg3Y layers. The thickness of the interface layer gets increased and more precipitates are formed in the interface layer with the extension of the annealing time. The microhardness of the AZ31 and Mg3Y layer decreases firstly and then reaches a stable value, while the microhardness of the interface layer increases gradually with the extension of the annealing time. The AZ31/Mg3Y composites exhibit equivalent strength but increased ductility after diffusion annealing, in comparison to the as-rolled AZ31/Mg3Y composite. In addition, the AZ31/Mg3Y composites after annealing always present higher strength and ductility than AZ31/AZ31 composite, which was fabricated by the same process as that for the AZ31/Mg3Y composites. Hetero-deformation induced strengthening also plays an important role in the excellent strength and ductility of the annealed AZ31/Mg3Y composite. This study can provide a direction for improving the plasticity and strength of magnesium alloys synergistically.
