Repetitive upsetting extrusion (RUE) was applied to the as-homogenized Mg-12.0Gd-4.5Y-2Zn-0.4Zr (wt %) alloy at 773 K. The microstructure evolution of the alloy during RUE was investigated. The results indicated that almost all Mg₅(Gd,Y,Zn) phases and fine-lamellar long-period stacking-ordered (LPSO) phases were dissolved into the matrix after homogenization treatment at 793 K for 16 h. After one RUE pass, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred. During subsequent RUE passes (from one to three passes), average volume fractions of DRXed grains increased from 43.9% to 65.8%, and that of fine-lamellar and block-shaped LPSO phases gradually decreased. All samples exhibited a typical bimodal microstructure consisting of some initial grains containing fine-lamellar LPSO phases, but consisting mostly of fine-DRXed grains with a mean grain size of 6 μm. Because of an increase in the accumulated strains, the coarse grains were substituted with fine-DRXed grains, the grains were gradually refined, and the microstructure distribution became more homogeneous.

The formation criteria of the LPSO phase are important for the design of long-period stacking-ordered (LPSO) Mg alloys. This work focuses on Type I LPSO Mg-Y-X alloys and attempts to explore the formation criteria of the LPSO phase from the perspective of liquid-solid correlation. With the aid of molecular dynamics simulation, liquid Mg-Y-X alloys are investigated to obtain the common liquid characteristics from the reported Type I LPSO Mg-Y-X alloys.

Mg-Y-Zn-Al alloys processed by the rapidly solidified ribbon consolidation (RSRC) technique are candidate materials for structural applications due to their improved mechanical performance. Their outstanding mechanical strength is attributed to solute-enriched stacking faults (SESFs), which can form cluster-arranged layers (CALs) and cluster-arranged nanoplates (CANaPs) or complete the long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase. The thermal stability of these solute arrangements strongly influences mechanical performance at elevated temperatures.
