摘要
A two-stage post-solution cooling procedure including 90 min of furnace cooling and subsequent water quenching is used to modify the morphology and distribution of the 尾-phase in magnesium-aluminum-zinc alloy. After this special process, the original coarse particle-like 尾-phase disappears and large-area fine lamellar (伪 + 尾) precipitates emerge. Dissolution of the coarse 尾-phase reduces the galvanic effects and produces the Al-rich 伪-phase matrix, whereas precipitation of the fine lamellar (伪 + 尾) micro-constituent forms a large number of almost continuous 尾-phase barrier. The microstructural change enhances the bio-corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility of magnesium alloy.
