Abstract
Ultra-high strength is obtained in the simple binary Mg-Gd alloy with only a small extrusion ratio, and its main strengthening contribution is different from that reported in previous works. The tensile yield strength (TYS) of Mg-13Gd alloy can reach 350 MPa by hot extrusion with an extrusion ratio of 4. The strong texture and internal dislocation pinning of the un-dynamically recrystallized (un-DRXed) region with large proportion contribute greatly to the strength of as-extruded alloy. It is found for the first time that aging precipitation only occurs within the large un-DRXed grains but not in the fine DRXed grains. The TYS of extruded + peak-aged alloy increases to 470 MPa. The ultra-high strength is mainly related to texture strengthening and precipitation strengthening, rather than fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening in the conventional Mg alloys with large plastic deformation.
