Popis: | The structures of the β″ and β′ phases in a Mg-2.35 wt. % Nd alloy aged at 250°C for 3 min, 15 min and 2 hr were investigated using high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy. Both phases consist of different arrangements of Nd atoms including triangular structures and hexagonal rings. In the [0001]Mg orientation, some β′ precipitates also exhibit unexpected D019 stacking, which is explained by a projection artifact of stacking defects visible in the Mg zone axes. The β′ phase appears to nucleate from preexisting s” chains. The β′ phase is coherent and contains the highest strain along the Mg directions, which agrees with the morphology of the precipitates being thinnest along the Mg directions. |
