Mg 2 Si reinforced Mg-Al based composite with
high amount of silicon was prepared by permanent mould casting, and
then extruded by reciprocating extrusion (RE) after the composite
was processed by homogenization heat treatment. The effect of RE
processing on the morphology and size of Mg 2 Si and the
mechanical properties of the composite were investigated, to develop
new ways to refine the Mg 2 Si phase and improve its shape. The
result showed that RE was very useful in refining the Mg 2Si
phase. The more the RE processing passes, the better the refining
effect would be. Moreover, the uniform distribution of Mg 2 Si
phases would be more in the composite. After the composite was
processed by RE for 12 passes, most Mg 2 Si phases were equiaxed,
with granular diameter below 20 um, and distributed uniformly in
the matrix of the composite. The mechanical properties of the
composite could be increased prominently by RE processing, and were
much higher than that in the as-cast state. As the temperature
rises, the tensile strength is reduced. For the composite RE
processed for 12 passes, the tensile strength, yield strength, and
elongation are 325.9 MPa, 211.4 MPa, and 3.3 % at room temperature,
whereas, 288.2 MPa, 207.7~MPa, and 7.8 %, respectively, at
150 C. In comparison with the properties at room
temperature, the tensile strength and yield strength are high and
only decrease by 11.6 and 1.8 at 150 C. The Mg 2 Si
reinforced Mg-Al based composite possesses good heat resistance at
150 C. The excellent resistance to effect of heat is
attributed to the high melting temperature and good thermal
stability of fine Mg 2 Si phases, which are distributed uniformly
in the composite, and effectively hinder the grain boundary gliding
and dislocation movement.

Directionally solidified binary Mg-Al eutectic
alloy wires of approximately 5mm in diameter were produced by the
Ohno continuous casting (OCC) process and the microstructure was
examined. It was found that the wires possess obvious unidirectional
growth characteristic along its axial direction. The microstructure
consists of parallel columnar grains that resulted from the
competitive growth of equiaxed grains solidified on the head of
dummy bar. Each columnar grain comprises regular eutectic
α-Mg and β-Mg17Al2 phases, which grew along the axial direction of the wires. The morphology of the eutectic ismainly lamellar, meanwhile rod eutectic exists. The formation of rod eutectic was attributed to the ``bridging effect" caused by
incidental elements in the alloy.

Ultrafine-grained pure aluminum L2 with a mean grain size of 1.0μm was produced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and annealing at 150℃ for 2h. Damping behavior of the alloy was measured using a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer. The alloy had an excellent damping capacity Q-1 with the ambient value being 9.8×l0-3 at 1.0Hz when the strain amplitude was 2.0×l0-5. The damping behavior of the alloy showed a non-linear damping variation tendency, that is, with an increase in temperature and a decrease of frequency, the damping capacity of the alloy increased. The damping capacity increased with the strain amplitude when the strain amplitude was less than 4.6×l0-5. When the strain amplitude was higher than 4.6×10-5, the damping capacity became a constant and independent of strain amplitude. The high damping capacity was attributed to dislocation unpinning and a drag of dislocation on pinning points.

As an icosahedral Mg3YZn6 quasicrystalline phase can be produced in Mg-Zn-Y system alloys when a proper amount of Zn and Y is contained, it is feasible to prepare the quasicrystal phase-reinforced low-density magnesium alloy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze phase constituents and the effect of reciprocating extrusion on microstructures and properties of the as-cast Mg-6.4Zn-1.1Y alloy. The microstructure of as-cast Mg-6.4Zn-1.1Y alloy consists of the α-Mg solid solution, icosahedral Mg3YZn6 quasicrystal, and Mg3Y2Zn3 and MgZn2 compounds. After the alloy is reciprocatingly extruded for 4 passes, grains were refined, Mg3Y2Zn3 and MgZn2 phase dissolved into the matrix, whereas Mg3YZn6 precipitated and distributed uniformly. The alloy possesses the best performance at this state, the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation is 323.4MPa, 258.2MPa, and 19.7%, respectively. In comparison with that of the as-cast alloy, the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of the reciprocatingly extruded alloy increase by 258.3％, 397.5％, and 18 times, respectively. It is concluded that reciprocating extrusion can substantially improve the properties of as-cast Mg-6.4Zn-1.1Y alloy, particularly for elongation. The high performance of the Mg-6.4Zn-1.1Y alloy after reciprocating extrusion can be attributed to dispersion strengthening and grain-refined microstructures.

In order to explore the methods to prepare high-strength quasicrystal-reinforced magnesium alloys, the flakes of rapidly solidified Mg-6.4Zn-1.1Y magnesium alloy with thickness of 50-60冚m were obtained by a melt spinning single-roller device, and then the flakes were processed into rods by reciprocating extrusion and direct extrusion. The microstructure of the alloy was analyzed by optical microscope and SEM, and the constituent phases were identified by XRD. Phase transformation and its onset temperature were determined by differential thermal analyzer (DTA). The analysis result shows that rapid solidification for Mg-6.4Zn-1.1Y alloy can inhibit the eutectic reactions, broaden the solid solubility of Zn in 冄-Mg solute solution, and impede the formation of Mg3Y2Zn3 and MgZn2 compounds, and thus help the icosahedral Mg3YZn6 quasicrystal formed directly from the melt. The microstructure of the flakes consists of the -Mg solid solution and icosahedral Mg3YZn6 quasicrystal. Dense rods can be made from the flakes by 2-pass reciprocating extrusion and direct extrusion. The interfaces between flakes in the rods can be welded and jointed perfectly. During the reciprocating extrusion and direct extrusion process, more Mg3YZn6 compounds are precipitated and distributed uniformly, whereas the rods possesses fine microstructures inherited from rapidly solidified flakes. The rods contain only two phases: 冄-magnesium solid solution as matrix and fine icosahedral Mg3YZn6 quasicrystal which disperses uniformly in the matrix.
