Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a method to strengthen dilute magnesium alloy sheets using a strain-induced aging process.
- the invention is particularly applicable sheets formed from a magnesium alloy containing contain small amounts of zinc and calcium/rare earth elements and it will be convenient to hereinafter disclose the invention in relation to that exemplary application.
- Magnesium (Mg) is one of the lightest commercially available structure materials. Mg has a density of 1.74 g/cm 3 at 20°C, and this characteristic makes it as a promising candidate for structure applications, such as automotive, aircraft, aerospace, and 3C (computer, communication, and consumer electronic product) industries. However, the room temperature formability of magnesium alloys is generally not high, and this has restricted their large-scale application.
- Alloying can improve the ductility and formability of Mg alloys.
- the applicant’s co-pending provisional patent application relates to magnesium-zinc based alloys in which the addition of small amounts of calcium or rare earth metals to magnesium-zinc based alloys improve the ductility and formability of sheets formed from these alloys. Nonetheless, the addition of small amount of alloying elements does not effectively strengthen the resulting alloy sheets. It is therefore desirable to further enhance the strength of sheets formed from this type of magnesium alloy.
- magnesium alloys can be formed using a high concentration of alloying elements, in most cases close to or more than 10 wt %. These alloys often include a large amount of zinc, or one or more rare earth elements such as gadolinium, yttrium, neodymium, and cerium. The inclusion of these alloying elements results in precipitation hardening of the Mg-alloy following an ageing treatment through the generation of a multitude of strengthening precipitates, and thus improvement in the strength of these concentrated Mg alloys.
- magnesium alloys with dilute alloying compositions ( ⁇ 3 wt %total alloying composition) have traditionally not been considered to have a similar age-hardening response. The low alloying composition is thought to not be sufficient to produce the requisite strengthening precipitates. Accordingly, such dilute magnesium alloys and sheets made therefrom are not expected to have any significant age-hardening response.
- dilute magnesium alloy sheets are one or more sheets formed from a magnesium alloy which includes less than 3 wt%alloying elements.
- the present invention provides a method of strengthening a dilute magnesium alloy sheet comprising:
- the inventors have found that the strength and more particularly the yield strength of these dilute magnesium alloy sheets could be improved (i.e. increased) , in many cases significantly improved, by introducing a small amount of plastic deformation to the formed alloy sheets followed by ageing treatment.
- the strain-induced age strengthening phenomena of the present invention therefore provides an effective means to strengthen those magnesium alloy sheets that have high ductility and formability, enabling those alloy sheets to have more commercial value.
- the increase in strength due to the dual treatment regime of plastic deformation followed by ageing treatment can be measured in %increase or MPa increase. It should be appreciated that the overall yield stress is dependent on more factors than the treatment method, and will be dependent on factors such as sheet formation process, rolling conditions, annealing temperature in that process and other factors affecting the properties and microstructure of that magnesium alloy sheet. Nevertheless, if the above considerations are constant then the strength increase or strengthening of the treatment process of the present invention can be quantified as follows:
- the strengthening or strength increase of the strengthened magnesium alloy sheet (SMA) relative to the dilute magnesium alloy sheet (i.e. as-annealed after formation) (OMA) is at least 10%, preferably at least 20%.
- the strength increase of the strengthened magnesium alloy sheet relative to the dilute magnesium alloy sheet is between 20%and 150%, more preferably between 20%and 130%. It should be appreciated that a strength increase of between 20%and 100%and more particularly above 50%is a very unexpected result for a dilute Mg alloy sheet.
- the strength increase (i.e. Yield Strength of SMA-Yield Strength of OMA) of the strengthened dilute magnesium alloy sheet relative to the dilute magnesium alloy sheet is preferably at least 10 MPa, more preferably at least 20 MPa, yet more preferably at least 33 MPa. In some embodiments, the strength increase of the strengthened magnesium alloy sheet relative to the dilute magnesium alloy sheet is between 33 MPa and 139 MPa, preferably between 35 MPa and 135MPa.
- the strength of the strengthened magnesium alloy sheet is a result of the dual treatment regime of plastic deformation (or pre-deformation) step and ageing treatment step.
- the parameters and conditions of these steps are preferably controlled to optimise the strength of the resulting strengthened magnesium alloy sheet.
- a small amount of plastic strain is used to produce significant improvement in the strength of the dilute magnesium alloy sheet.
- the tensile plastic strain from plastic deformation should exceed 0.5%, but be less than 8%.
- tensile plastic strain is controlled in the range of 0.5 to 6%, preferably 0.7 to 5%, more preferably from 1 to 4%.

- the temperature range of the ageing treatment is between 100 and 250°C, preferably between 100 and 200°C.
- the ageing treatment is no more than 24 hours, preferably at most 12 hours.
- it is preferred for the ageing treatment to be at least 5 minutes.
- the ageing treatment is between 5 minutes and 12 hours.

- the inventors have found that the strength of dilute magnesium alloy sheets formed from an alloy containing contain small amounts of zinc and calcium/rare earth elements can be improved, in some cases significantly improved, by using a strengthening method which introduces a small amount of plastic deformation to the dilute magnesium alloy sheet followed by an ageing treatment.
- the discovery of the inventive strain-induced age strengthening phenomena provides an effective means to strengthen those magnesium alloy sheets that have high ductility and formability, increasing the commercial value of those alloy sheets.
- the present invention is applicable for strengthening highly formable magnesium dilute sheet alloys, but it can also be applied to extruded magnesium products made of Mg- (Zn) -RE, Mg-Zn- (RE) -Ca- (Zr) and Mg-Ca-Zn-(Zr) compositions.
- the exemplary dilute magnesium based alloys have been found to generally fall into three general alloy systems: Mg- (Zn) -RE system; Mg-Zn-(RE) -Ca- (Zr) system; and Mg-Ca-Zn- (Zr) system.
- Alloy sheets of the each of these systems can be are subjected to a plastic deformation such as tensile stretching at room temperature or cold rolling in which tensile plastic strain should exceed 0.5%, but less than 8%, and preferably controlled in the range of 1 to 4%, with reductions of cold rolling preferably not to exceed 10%.
- the pre-deformed magnesium alloy sheets are subsequently given an ageing treatment in the temperature range of 80 to 250°C, with the ageing time preferably not exceeding 24 hours.
- Strength improvements of the dilute magnesium alloy sheet of between 20 to 129% (33 to 139MPa) have been demonstrated following application of the method of the present invention, as outlined in the examples below.
- Figure 1 illustrates a flow chart depicting a method of fabricating a magnesium alloy sheet used in the method of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, a dilute magnesium based alloy according to the composition described herein is first provided in the initial step 105.
- the respective alloys are cast using a suitable casting technique in step 110.
- the casting step may involve casting an ingot, billet, bar, block or other moulded body.
- the casting step may involve casting into a sheet or strip.
- casting techniques include twin roll casting (TRC) , sand casting with or without chill plates on the two faces of the casting or DC casting.
- TRC twin roll casting
- sand casting with or without chill plates on the two faces of the casting or DC casting.
- DC direct chill
- the strip or slab could also be made from a DC cast billet which has been subsequently extruded to a slab or strip again using methods and apparatus suitable for magnesium alloys that are well known in the art.
- alloys were melted and cast using a high frequency induction melting furnace using a mild steel crucible at approximately 760°Cunder an argon atmosphere.
- the steel mould was pre-heated to about 200°C prior to casting.
- the resulting melt was cast into suitably sized ingots 30 mm thick x 55 mm width x 120 mm length.
- Homogenisation or preheating is employed to reduce the interdendritic segregation and compositional differences associated with the casting process.
- a suitable commercial practice is to choose a temperature, usually 5 to 10°C, below the non-equilibrium solidus. Given that magnesium, zinc and calcium are the major constituents in the alloys, a temperature range of 300 to 500°C, depending upon alloy composition.
- the time required for the homogenisation step is dictated by the size of the cast ingot, billet, strip or slab. For TRC strip a time of 2 to 4 hrs is sufficient, while for sand cast slab or direct-chill cast slab up to 24 hrs will be required.
- the homogenisation treatment is followed by a quenching step, typically a water quenching step.
- the homogenised ingots are machined into strips of 5 mm thickness.
- strips can be formed using any number of other techniques as discussed above in the casting step.
- the homogenised ingots, strips or slabs are then hot rolled at a suitable temperature, in step 120.
- suitable temperature in step 120.
- different rolling steps may be used.
- a break-down rolling step can be used. The aim of this step is to reduce the thickness, as well as to refine and remove the cast structure.
- the temperature for this step is dependent on the furnace available at the rolling facility, but usually a temperature between 350 to 500°Cis employed.
- rolling is performed at a temperature between 250°Cto 450°Cwithout the need of a break-down rolling step. Hot rolling involves the strip to pass between the rollers a number of times.
- the sheets are typically reheated at a temperature in the range of 350 to 500°Cfor about 5 to 10 minutes prior to subsequent rolling to bring the temperature up before the next pass.
- a few cold passes with a percentage reduction per pass of 10 or 20% may also be used as a final rolling or sizing operation. This process is continued until the final thickness (within the set tolerances) is achieved, at step 125.
- the total reduction can be about 85 %with the thickness reduction per pass being about 20 %.
- the sheets were reheated at a temperature in the range of 350 to 500°Cfor about 10 minutes prior to subsequent rolling. In some embodiments, a further cold rolling was adopted as a final rolling.
- Annealing is a heat treatment process designed to restore the ductility to an alloy that has been severely strain-hardened by rolling. There are three stages to an annealing heat treatment-recovery, re-crystallisation and grain growth. During recovery the physical properties of the alloy like electrical conductivity is restored, while during recrystallisation the cold worked structure is replaced by new set of strain-free grains. Recrystallisation can be recognised by metallographic methods and confirmed by a decrease in hardness or strength and an increase in ductility.
- Recrystallisation temperature is dependent on the alloy composition, initial grain size and amount of prior deformation among others; hence, it is not a fixed temperature. For practical purposes, it may be defined as the temperature at which a highly strain-hardened (cold worked) alloy recrystallises completely in 1 hour.
- the optimum annealing temperature for each alloy and condition is identified by measuring the hardness after exposing the alloy at different temperatures for 1 hr, and establishing an annealing curve to identify the approximate temperature at which recrystallisation ends and grain growth begins. This temperature may also be identified as the inflection point of the hardness-annealing temperature curve. This technique allows achieving the optimum temperature easily and reasonably accurately.
- the annealed strips were quenched in a suitable medium, for example water.
- the formed magnesium alloy sheet is strengthened using a two-step strengthening process:
- the formed magnesium alloy sheet is subjected to plastic deformation using a pre-deformation step 132 comprising either tensile stretching at room temperature or a cold rolling process.
- a pre-deformation step 132 comprising either tensile stretching at room temperature or a cold rolling process.
- the tensile plastic strain applied should exceed 0.5%, but be less than 8%.
- the thickness change (decrease) should not exceed 10%. This plastic deformation forms a pre-deformed magnesium alloy sheets.
- the pre-deformed magnesium alloy sheet or sheets is subject to an ageing treatment 135 in a temperature range of 80 to 250°Cfor at least 1 minute. Aging typically occurs in a temperature controlled environment. Suitable environments include a furnace, or liquid bath, such as an oil bath.
- the ageing treatment typically takes from at least 1 minute to 24 hours, but in most embodiments does not exceed 12 hours.

- the T6 treatment did lead to the increment of the yield strength from 106 MPa to 125 MPa.
- the T8 treatment that caused substantial increase in the strength increment of 70 MPa increased yield strength from 106 MPa to 176 MPa. This strength increment is far greater than the strength increment produced by the T6 treatment.
- the inventive T8 treatment (deformation plus ageing) delivered an appreciable increase in strength with addition of small amounts of zinc, calcium and rare earth element gadolinium, regardless of whether the T6 treatment (ageing alone) could lead to an age hardening phenomenon or not.

- the alloy sheets covered by the present invention can be easily produced by hot-rolling from as-cast ingot.
- Mg alloys with strong age hardening effect are generally very difficult to be processed, such as the alloys mentioned in the prior arts. They can only be hot-extruded, or rolled with a very small thickness reduction, and thus extremely difficult to be fabricated into rolling sheets.
- inventive alloy sheets particularly suitable a range of existing manufacturing technologies, including extrusion, forging and twin-roll casting, and in particular vehicle or automotive applications.
