RESUMO

As-cast and as-extruded Mg-[x]Zn-0.3Mn (x=1.5, 2.0 wt.%) alloys were prepared by means of medium-frequency induction-heating technique and extrusion process, respectively. The microstructural characteristics, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the samples were characterized. The research results show that the samples are composed of major α-Mg and minor second phases MgZn2. For the as-extruded samples, the grain size is refined. After extrusion, much more second phases were precipitated from α-Mg matrix and the dislocations were reduced. The degree of lattice distortion was decreased for as-extruded samples. Because of the decline of lattice distortion degree, the as-extruded samples display much higher thermal conductivity than the as-cast samples. Additionally, on account of lower lattice distortion, Mg-1.5Zn-0.3Mn alloy has a bit larger thermal conductivity than Mg-2Zn-0.3Mn alloy. Finally, the as-extruded alloys present good mechanical properties based on the fine-grained strengthening and second-phase strengthening mechanism.
