本文利用原位准动态背散射电子显微像(BSE)并结合透射电镜观察研究了MgGd1.8Y0.8Znx(at.%)(x=0.12,0.8,1.3)合金中长周期堆垛结构(LPS)的形成及生长形态。结果表明,当Zn含量较少时(x=0.12),铸态和各种热处理状态的合金中都未形成LPS。而在Zn含量相对较多的铸态合金(x=0.8,1.3)中,发现6层周期LPS的形成,而且Zn含量越多,LPS的体积分数越大。在300℃进行热处理时,LPS可以沿Mg基体{0001}面生长,原位准动态BSE观察可以直接揭示与LPS的生长相关的形貌变化。
The formation and growth morphology of long period stacking (LPS) structures in MgGd1.8 Y0.8 Znx (at. % ) (x = 0.12, 0. 8, 1.3) alloys have been investigated by combination of in-situ quasi-dynamic back-scattering electron microscopy (BSE) and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that no LPS can be formed in as-cast and heat treated MgGd1.8 Y0.8 Znx alloys when Zn-content is low ( x = 0. 12). In contrast, a kind of 6-layered LPS has been found to form in as-cast MgGd1.8 Y0.8 Znx alloys with high Zn-content (x = 0.8, 1.3). The fraction of volume for the LPS formed is in proportion to Zn-content. When heat treated at 300℃, the LPS in as-cast state can grow along (0001) Mg planes, whose morphology variations can be revealed directly by in-situ quasi-dynamic BSE observations.
