Popis: Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ31/WE43 bimetal composites was investigated, and the optimized solution treatment and ageing treatment parameters were achieved. After heat treatment, it was found that that the high melting-point Y-rich phases and Mg-RE (rare earth) phases at the interface were distributed more uniformly, so the interfacial strength and plasticity were improved. Meanwhile, the shear strength and plasticity of AZ31 were increased, and the shear strength of WE43 was also improved by heat treatment. The evolution of interface morphologies and enhancement of the mechanical properties at the interface will be discussed in detail.
