The role of dislocation-solute interactions on the creep behaviour of binary Mg–RE alloys

Abstract The effect of dislocation-RE atoms interactions on the creep behaviour has been studied via creep testing and HAADF-STEM analysis of two extruded alloys; Mg–0.5Ce and Mg–2Gd (wt%). Almost no Ce atoms are detected in the Mg matrix due to the low solid solubility and faster diffusion rate in...

Sumario:Abstract The effect of dislocation-RE atoms interactions on the creep behaviour has been studied via creep testing and HAADF-STEM analysis of two extruded alloys; Mg–0.5Ce and Mg–2Gd (wt%). Almost no Ce atoms are detected in the Mg matrix due to the low solid solubility and faster diffusion rate in as-extruded condition. However, Gd solute segregations are observed along dislocations and hexagonal dislocation patterns. Such segregations can not only pin the dislocation motion and enhance the creep strengthening via dislocation patterns, but also lead to dynamic precipitation. Thus, combing with the stress exponent values, the transition of creep mechanism between Mg–0.5Ce alloys and Mg–2Gd alloys has been found and dislocation-Gd atoms interactions are determined to be the main factor for superior creep resistance of Mg–2Gd alloys.
