Precipitation hardening of a Mg - 3.5 wt. % Th - 1. wt. % Mn alloy

Abstract

"The precipitation process in a Mg - 3.5 wt. % Th - 1. wt. % Mn alloy during aging at 260⁰, 350⁰ and 400⁰C was determined principally by transmission electron microscopy. At 350⁰ and 400⁰C, general precipitation of the equilibrium Mg₄Th phase moderately hardens the alloy. No transition lattice of this phase was seen. The Mg₄Th precipitate forms initially as disc shaped plates parallel either to the prism or basal plane of the matrix...During prolonged aging at 400⁰C the plates lengthen into long laths on either of the above planes in the close packed direction...At 260⁰C an unidentified G. P. zone appearing precipitate forms"--Abstract, page ii.
