Abstract
The dissolution reaction kinetics were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis for Mg-0.6Gd (wt.%) in an as-cast condition and after processing by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature for 20 turns. For the as-cast condition, the dissolution temperature was in the range of 634–658 K with an activation energy of 135 ± 9 kJ/mol. After HPT, the range of dissolution temperature decreased to 601–633 K, with a lower activation energy of 118 ± 10 kJ/mol. In both conditions, the Avrami and growth exponents are around 1.5, which suggests that the dissolved precipitates exhibit polyhedron-like morphology and that the dissolution process is dominated by bulk dissolution with a constant rate controlled by diffusion.
