Abstract
Significantly enhancing the mechanical properties of Mg–Bi base series alloys is of great significance for their wider application prospects. Here, a new Mg–3Bi–1Ca (BX31, wt.%) alloy showing high tensile yield strength of ∼397.1 MPa, high ultimate tensile strength of ∼416.2 MPa and acceptable elongation of ∼8% was fabricated by low-temperature extrusion. The analysis of microstructure showed that the enhanced yield strength was attributed to the ultra-fine grain structure (∼0.84 μm), nano-scale second phases including Mg2Bi2Ca and Mg2Ca, and Ca segregation at grain boundaries. In addition, a weak basal fiber texture to some extent provided more basal slip activities, guaranteeing the suitable ductility. The dynamic recrystallization and dislocation behavior of the BX31 billet during extrusion were also systematically observed and discussed to reveal the formation mechanisms of the ultra-fine grain structure with the weak basal fiber texture in the as-extruded BX31 alloy. As mentioned above, this work offers a new insight to obtain high-performance Mg–Bi base series alloys.
