Effect of heat treatment on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of ZK60 magnesium alloy
Highlights ► Effect of heat treatment on shielding properties of ZK60 alloy was investigated. ► Solid solution plus aging leads to an obvious increase of shielding effectiveness. ► Shielding effectiveness increases with increasing the amount of precipitates. ► Enhanced shielding could be mainly attributed to the increase of conductivity.
Abstract Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capacity of ZK60 magnesium alloy in different heat treatment conditions was investigated in the testing frequency range of 30–1500MHz. EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) was measured by coaxial cable method at ambient temperature. Experimental results indicate that solid solution treatment enhances the SE of as-extruded ZK60 alloy at low frequency, while has an inverse effect on the SE at high frequency. Artificial aging treatment following solid solution improves shielding capacity obviously, moreover the SE value of the alloy increase gradually with increasing amount of second phase precipitates. Solution treatment at 400°C for 5h plus artificial aging at 170°C for 25h is determined as the optimum heat treatment condition. In this condition, a high shielding effectiveness of 62–75dB has been attained in the alloy, which is greatly higher than the value in extruded state. The above-mentioned observations were analyzed in terms of microstructural variation, especially solid solution and precipitation of alloying elements in ZK60 alloy in details.
