Microstructural Evolution during Accelerated Tensile Creep Test of ZK60/SiCp Composite after KoBo Extrusion

• In the current study, the creep properties of magnesium alloy reinforced with SiC particles were investigated. For this purpose, ZK60/SiCp composite was produced by the stir casting method following the KoBo extrusion and precipitation hardening processes. The creep tests were performed at 150 degrees C under 10-110 MPa. The results showed that the stress exponent (n) and the average true activation energy (Q) was changed at high stresses, was found with increasing stress, the creep mechanism changing from grain boundary sliding to dislocation climb. The results of microstructure characterization after the creep test showed that at low stresses, the dynamic recrystallization resulting from twinning induced the GBS mechanism. However, at high stresses, with increasing diffusion rates, conditions are provided for dynamic precipitation and the dislocation climb of the dominant creep mechanism. Examination of the fracture surfaces and the surrounding areas showed that the cavity nucleation in the ternary boundary and surrounding precipitation was the main cause of damage. The evaluation of the samples texture after creep showed that the unreinforced alloy showed a moderately strong fiber texture along the angle of phi(1) = 0-90 degrees, which was tilted about phi = 10 degrees. A new strong texture component was observed at (90 degrees, 5 degrees, 0 degrees) for the composite sample, which crept due to minor splitting of the basal pole by similar to 5 degrees toward RD.
