Abstract
A novel Mg-14Li-3Al (LA143) matrix composite reinforced with YAl 2 intermetallics particles was developed by stir-casting. The microstructure and interface characteristics of the YAl2p/LA143 composite were investigated. The results show that, YAl2 particles distribute uniformly in the composite, and a good interfacial bonding is obtained with no reaction products at particle/matrix interfaces. YAl 2p/LA143 composite exhibits excellent mechanical properties. The tensile strength and yield strength are significantly improved by the addition of YAl2 particles, while a good ductility property is kept. During tensile deformation, YAl2 particles may prevent the propagation of crack in microscale. The YAl2 particles can be compatible with the deformation of the matrix due to their deformation, exhibiting a "soft" restriction to the matrix. Therefore, the strength and toughness of the YAl2p/LA143 composite can be improved by the above effects.
