The microstructure, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE), and mechanical properties of Mg-12Gd-3Y-xSn alloys were studied to understand the influence of Sn addition on the structure and properties of the alloy. The results showed that adding Sn increased the number of second phases and formed Mg-24(Gd,Y)(5), Mg-5(Gd,Y), and Mg2Sn phases. The SE values of Mg-12Gd-3Y-xSn alloys increased gradually with the addition of Sn. The aged Mg-12Gd-3Y-1.5Sn alloy exhibited improved SE value and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.
Microstructure, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE), and mechanical properties of Mg-12Gd-3Y-xSn alloys were systematically studied to understand the effect of Sn addition on the structure and properties of the alloy. The experimental results show that the number of second phases increases after adding Sn, and Mg-24(Gd, Y)(5), Mg-5(Gd, Y), and Mg2Sn phases are formed. The SE values of Mg-12Gd-3Y-xSn alloys increase gradually with the addition of Sn. Mg-12Gd-3Y-1.5Sn alloy subjected to artificial aging at 225 degrees C for 36 h presents the SE value of 113-81 dB and a maximum increment in SE of 11 dB at 1500 MHz. The ultimate tensile strength of the aged Mg-12Gd-3Y-1.5Sn alloy at 250 degrees C can reach 345 MPa. When the incident direction of the electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to the basal plane, the Mg2Sn phase precipitated parallel to the (0001)(alpha-Mg) plane has more reflection area, which increases the SE value. The improved SE value is mainly due to the enhanced multiple reflection attenuations by the second phase. The precipitates beta' and Mg2Sn have high-temperature stability, making the alloy still exhibit good mechanical properties at 250 degrees C.
