Compressive creep behavior of Mg-4Al-1RE-1Ca-0.2Sr alloy

摘要

The compressive creep behavior of Mg-4Al-1RE-1Ca-0.2Sr (AECJ411002) alloy was investigated at temperatures in the range of 125~175°C and different compressive stress in the range of 88~112MPa with special apparatus. The results show that the creep deformation increases with the increasing of temperature and compressive stress. There is linear logarithmic relationship between the steady creep rate and all the temperature and stress used. The steady creep rate obeys an empirical equation. The stress exponents are similar at different temperatures and the appearance activation energies are not greatly different under different stresses. Their average value is respectively 6.19 and 39.05kJ/mol. Material constant A is 4.18×10~(-14) The steady creep rate is controlled by a dislocation climb led by grain boundary sliding. The creep resistance enhances because of the heat-resistant phases Al_2Ca and Al_4Sr distributing at grain boundary.
