在真空和非真空条件下对Mg-Gd-Y-Zr镁合金进行过滤净化处理。利用OM和SEM方法分析合金中夹杂物的种类、形貌、尺寸分布和体积分数;利用盐雾实验和电化学测试研究Mg-Gd-Y-Zr镁合金中夹杂物对合金耐蚀性的影响。结果表明:过滤净化处理可以有效地去除合金中的夹杂物;通过净化处理,合金中的夹杂物平均尺寸从12.7μm减小到2.0μm,夹杂物的平均体积分数从0.30%降低到0.04%;随着合金中夹杂物尺寸的减小,盐雾腐蚀实验中合金的腐蚀速率从38.8g/(m2·d)减少到2.4g/(m2·d);在电化学实验中,腐蚀电流密度减小,极化电阻升高,Mg-Gd-Y-Zr镁合金的耐蚀性得到了提高。
Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloys were purified by filtering purification with and without vacuum. The type, morphology, size distribution and volume fraction of inclusion were analyzed with OM and SEM. The effect of inclusion in Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloys on anticorrosion ability was investigated with salt spray test and electrochemical test. The results show that the inclusions in the alloy can be removed effectively by filtering purification. The average size of inclusions in the alloys is decreased from 12.7 μm to 2.0 μm and the volume fraction of inclusions is reduced from 0.30% to 0.04%. With the decrease of the size of inclusions in the alloys, the corrosion rate of the alloys decreases dramatically from 38.8 g/(m 2 ·d) to 2.4 g/(m 2 ·d) in the salt spray test. The corrosion potential increases while the corrosion current decreases and the polarization resistance increases in the electrochemical tests, which indicates that the anticorrosion ability is improved.
