Abstract

Mg-Zn-Zr-Y billets with different mass fraction of Y (wt%(Y)=0.2%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%) was prepared by permanent mold casting. The increase in Y content has shown grain refinement effects on the microstructure morphologies of Mg–Zn–Y–Zr alloys. When the content of Y achieves 1.0 wt%, the grain refinement effect of the Y is most obvious than any more contents of the Y content. In the test result of XRD, the type of precipitated phase in Mg-Zn-Zr-Y alloys is related to atomic ratio of Y/Zn. With content of Y increases, atomic ratio of Y/Zn increases,the precipitated phase in alloy is changed from Phase I to Phase W. Tensile strength and extension rate of alloy increase with the increasing of Y content; When Y content reaches 1.0%, mechanical property reaches maximum value. When content of Y exceeds 1.0%, with the increasing of Y content, mechanical property of alloy declines gradually.
