An investigation by EXAFS of local atomic structure in an Mg-Nd alloy after processing by high-pressure torsion and ageing

An investigation by EXAFS of local atomic structure in an Mg-Nd alloy after processing by high-pressure torsion and ageing
An investigation by EXAFS of local atomic structure in an Mg-Nd alloy after processing by high-pressure torsion and ageing
The local atomic structure of an Mg-1.44Nd (wt.%) alloy was investigated after solution annealing, high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing up to 1 and 10 turns and ageing at 250 °C for 5 h using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements at the Nd LIII-edge. The results show that HPT processing has no effect on the atomic structure around Nd atoms compared to the unprocessed state, whereas ageing at 250 °C for 5 h induces a significant modification in the coordination number and interatomic distances around the Nd atoms. These variations are analyzed based on the correlations between precipitation, defects and atomic mobility of the chemical species.

Abstract

The local atomic structure of an Mg-1.44Nd (wt.%) alloy was investigated after solution annealing, high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing up to 1 and 10 turns and ageing at 250 °C for 5 h using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements at the Nd LIII-edge. The results show that HPT processing has no effect on the atomic structure around Nd atoms compared to the unprocessed state, whereas ageing at 250 °C for 5 h induces a significant modification in the coordination number and interatomic distances around the Nd atoms. These variations are analyzed based on the correlations between precipitation, defects and atomic mobility of the chemical species.
