Effects of Y content and temperature on the damping capacity of extruded Mg-Y sheets

摘要

The damping behavior of extruded Mg-xY(x=0.5,1.0,3.0 wt.%)sheets were investigated in detail concerning the effects of Y addition and temperature,and the relationship between damping capacity and yield strength was discussed.At room temperature(RT),with Y content increasing from 0.5%to 3.0%,the damping capacity(Q-1)significantly decreased from 0.037 to 0.015.For all the studied sheets,the relationship between strain amplitude and Q-1 fitted well with the Granato and Liicke(G-L)dislocation damping model.With temperature increased,the G-L plots deviated from linearity indicating that the dislocation damping was not the only dominate mechanism,and the grain boundary sliding(GBS)could contribute to damping capacity.Consequently,the Q-1 increased remarkably above the critical temperature,and the critical temperature increased significantly from 50℃ to 290℃ with increasing Y contents from 0 to 3.0wt.%.This result implied that the segregation of Y solutes at grain boundary could depress the GBS,which was consistent with the recent finding of segregation tendency for rare-earth solutes.The extruded Mg-IY sheet exhibited slightly higher yield strength(Rp0.2)and Q-1 comparing with high-damping Mg-0.6Zr at RT.At an elevated temperature of 325℃,the Mg-IY sheet had similar Q-1 but over 3 times larger Rp0.2 than that of the pure Mg.The present study indicated that the extruded Mg-Y based alloys exhibited promising potential for developing high-performance damping alloys,especially for the elevated-temperature application.
