Synthesis of bulk nanostructured Mg-based alloy via spark plasma sintering through in situ crystallization of an amorphous precursor
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract We present the synthesis of a bulk nanostructured Mg-based alloy that has a grain size less than 300 nm. A nanostructured Mg-Zn-Cu-Nd alloy with an exceptionally high hardness can be obtained through simultaneous consolidation and in situ crystallization of the amorphous Mg84Zn7Cu3Nd6 alloy precursor using the spark plasma sintering process. We evaluate the relationship between the microstructure and preparation conditions on the grain size of nanostructured Mg-based alloys during the sintering process. The hardness of the bulk sample produced from the sintered amorphous Mg-Zn-Cu-Nd precursor at 260 °C is maximized via the nanocrystallization of intermetallic compounds using the sintering process. The populated crystallization and confined growth of phases contribute to the refinement of gains in nanostructured Mg-based alloys.
