Deformation Mechanism and Hot Workability of Extruded Magnesium Alloy AZ31

Using the flow stress curves obtained by Gleeble thermo-mechanical testing, the processing map of extruded magnesium alloy AZ31 was established to analyze the hot workability. Stress exponent and activation energy were calculated to characterize the deformation mechanism. Then, the effects of hot deformation parameters on deformation mechanism,microstructure evolution and hot workability of AZ31 alloy were discussed. With increasing deformation temperature, the operation of non-basal slip systems and full development of dynamic recrystallization(DRX) contribute to effective improvement in hot workability of AZ31 alloy. The influences of strain rate and strain are complex. When temperature exceeds 350 °C, the deformation mechanism is slightly dependent of the strain rate or strain. The dominant mechanism is dislocation cross-slip, which favors DRX nucleation and grain growth and thus leads to good plasticity. At low temperature(below 350 °C), the deformation mechanism is sensitive to strain and strain rate. Both the dominant deformation mechanism and inadequate development of DRX deteriorate the ductility of AZ31 alloy. The flow instability mainly occurs in the vicinity of 250 °C and 1 s-1.     

Microstructure and Texture Evolution During the Alternate Extrusion of an AZ31 Magnesium Alloy

In this study, a new extrusion process, alternate extrusion (AE), is proposed. We evaluated the reliability and superiority of this process in practical applications by conducting a simulation using the finite element method, which confirmed the experimental results. The microstructure characteristics of an AZ31 magnesium alloy produced by conventional extrusion (CE) and AE were investigated by electron backscattered diffraction and optical microscopy, and the effects of the microstructures on the mechanical properties were studied across the extruded specimens. The main advantage of AE is that the load is reduced to less than half that in the CE process; this results from the reduced cross-section of the split punches. Additionally, the grain size with AE is more refined than with CE because of the additional shear force, which improves the mechanical properties of the alloys. Furthermore, AE can also weaken the intensity of the basal plane texture.

Influence of Continuous Bending Process on Texture Evolution and Mechanical Properties of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy

Mg–3Al–1Zn alloy sheets have been deformed by continuous bending(CB) to investigate the effects of pro cessing parameters(bending angle and repetitive passes) on the texture and formability. The samples exhibited a bimoda microstructure with abnormal growth grains in the surface region and fine grains distributed in the center after CB process followed by annealing. The texture evolution measured by XRD indicated that the basal poles were rotated from ND toward RD, and the texture intensity decreased with the bending angle decreasing and repetitive passes increasing Compared with the as-received sample, the yield strength of CBA-120-2 sample significantly decreased from 183 to112 MPa, and a smaller r-value and a larger n-value were obtained. The formability of CB processed samples in annealing condition was significantly enhanced with the highest of Erichsen value of 5.4 mm, increased by about 135%. The improvement of formability was likely attributed to the weakened and RD-tilt basal texture and coarse grains in the surface part.     

Microstructure and Texture Evolution During the Direct Extrusion and Bending–Shear Deformation of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy

AZ31 alloys were extruded by direct extrusion and bending–shear deformation(DEBS). The microstructure characteristic and texture evolution of DEBSed AZ31 sheets were investigated by electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD). It is found that DEBS technique could effectively refine grains and weaken texture. Besides, we also investigate how twinning affects dynamic recrystallization during hot extrusion. {10–12} extension twins can offer nucleation sites and enough energy to trigger dynamic recrystallization. Moreover, the character of direct extrusion and bending–shear die can lead to the activation of non-basal slip system and further dramatically weaken the basal texture of the microstructure with many preactivated basal slip systems.

采用同步轧制(NR)和异步轧制(AR)工艺对AZ31镁合金挤压板材进行了轧制,研究了轧制过程中组织和织构的演化,以及总压下量和异步比对轧材组织、织构和力学性能的影响。结果表明,在压下量为3%～15%的范围内,同步轧制与异步轧制板材在晶粒尺寸以及均匀性上有相似的变化趋势。轧制过程中,在变形初期,随压下量的增加,孪晶数量不断增加,孪晶使同步轧制与异步轧制板材中晶粒取向都发生偏转,即C轴趋向于垂直于法向(ND),从而使初始挤压板材的丝织构强度减弱;而当压下量达到24%时,孪晶大量减少或消失。在压下量为3%～24%的范围内,同步轧制对板材力学性能的影响并不明显,峰值应变呈交替变化;异步轧制板材在压下量达到24%左右时,表现出了良好的塑性变形能力,抗拉强度达到309MPa,峰值应变达到0.163。
