Abstract
Mg-Zn-Y alloys are well known to possess greatly enhanced strength during plastic deformation because of the presence of kink bands in the LPSO phase and refinement of the grains of the alpha Mg phase. On the other hand, Mg-rare earth (RE) and Mg-Zn-RE alloys with a long period stacking order (LPSO) phase show a high tensile yield strength when subjected to an extrusion process but it is not known whether the LPSO and alpha Mg phases develop during plastic deformation. We examined the effect of the finely dispersed LPSO phase and the alpha Mg phase on the development of high strength in sheets of Mg96Zn2Y2 subjected to a few passes of rolling. The mechanical properties and thermal stability of the alloy were also investigated. The tensile yield strength of rolled sheets of Mg96Zn2Y2 was 360 MPa and its elongation was 5% when the material was subjected to thermomechanically controlled processing at 673 K with a four-pass rolling schedule. However, the tensile yield strength decreased and the elongation increased at annealing temperature of 623 K or above, because of the presence of grain growth in the alpha Mg phase and the restoration of kink bands in the LPSO phase.
