On the Precipitation Behavior at 250 and 300 °C of WE54 Supersaturated Solid Solution

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The current study seeks to further understand the precipitation sequence in a WE54 Mg alloy using in situ X-ray diffraction, micro-hardness and electrical resistivity during ageing at 250 and 300 °C. We show that the mean hardening effect is due to the precipitation of β' and β1metastable phases. The analysis of the kinetics of the precipitation shows that both phases nucleate at grain boundaries and within grains in the form of plates.
