摘要

This study systematically investigates the effects of hot drawing speed (1.5 m/min to 3.5 m/min) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-9.5Gd-3.5Y-1Zn-0.3Zr alloy wires. Results show that a higher drawing speed intensifies the thermo-mechanical coupling effect, which uniformly fragments and disperses the long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase throughout the matrix. This process further refines dynamic recrystallized grains, reducing the average matrix grain size from 13.11 to 6.26 μm in the final 1.4-mm-diameter wire. Moreover, the increased speed shortens the high-temperature exposure time, keeping the wire temperature below the dissolution point of Mg5(Gd,Y)(Mg5RE) and thereby suppressing its solid solution. Consequently, the Mg5RE phase remains as a high-density dispersion in the matrix. These microstructural improvements lead to a significant increase in ultimate tensile strength (from 428 to 536 MPa) and yield strength (from 401 to 514 MPa). The strengthening mechanisms are attributed to: (1) improved distribution and aspect ratio of the LPSO phase, which inhibits grain coarsening; and (2) a strong pinning effect induced by the uniformly dispersed Mg5RE precipitates, which stabilizes the fine-grained structure and promotes the formation of high-density dislocation substructures, resulting in synergistic strengthening.
