Abstract

In this study, a new type of cyclic hot pressing technology was used to prepare magnesium-aluminum composites. In order to further simplify the process, the active zinc interlayer was introduced, and the interfacial bonding strength of Mg/Al LMCs was increased by 43.25%. The traditional Mg/Al LMCs interface is mainly composed of Mg-Al IMCs (β-Mg2Al3 and γ-Mg17Al12), in which the highly regular HCP-β phase leads to brittle fracture of the material. After adding zinc layer, the interface of the composites mainly presents Al-SS, η (MgZn2) and Mg-SS phases. During the preparation process, the solid solution treatment and aging treatment occurred at the composite interface, and a chain GPII zone was formed at the interface between Al-SS and η phase. This region is mainly composed of structurally unstable η′(Al-Mg-Zn), resulting in the GP II band becoming a region rich in lattice defects and a fracture source of the composite.
