Abstract

It is intended to prepare much harder materials with multi-elements or multi-components through friction stir processing (FSP) or accumulative roll bonding (ARB). The first trial is to add 1-10 volume percent nano ceramic particles into the soft AZ-series Mg alloys via four FSP passes. The H v hardness of the resulting nano-composites reaches over 110. The second trial is to fabricate multi-element intermetallic alloys of Mg50-80Al10-25Zn10-40 by three FSP passes. The Hv hardness of the resulting intermetallic alloys varies from 140 to 350. The third trial is to prepare the nanocrystalline and/or amorphous Zr based alloys through room temperature ARB from various elemental foils. After 40-100 ARB cycles, the elemental foils are refined into nanocrystalline phases and eventually transformed into amorphous alloys. The Hv hardness varies from 200 to over 500. The characterizations of microstructures and mechanical properties of the resulting hard materials are presented.
