Isothermal Gas Forming of Mg Alloy AZ31 Sheet

There have been reports on sheet forming of Mg alloy in industry via the punch and die method;this paper is probably the first formal one for studying the sheet formability of AZ31 employing pressurized gas to press the sheet into a female die cavity at various elevated temperatures.The results indicate it is feasible to form a rectangular box via pressurized gas from extruded sheets of 0.5 and 1.7 mm thick.The formed box has 1:2 depth over width ratio,which should be large enough when dealing with realistic industrial sheet forming parts.Presently,forming a sheet of 0.5 mm thick is considered a technical challenge by industry,and it is conquered as demonstrated in this paper.Gas forming technique applied to Mg alloy is unprecedented and shows potential for industrial utilization.

The influence of NaCl and CO2 on the atmospheric corrosion of magnesium alloy AZ91

The influence of NaCl and CO₂ on the atmospheric corrosion of magnesium alloy AZ91 is studied in the laboratory. Samples were exposed under carefully controlled air and flow conditions; the relative humidity was 95%, the temperature was 22.0°C and the concentration of CO₂ was < 1 ppm or 350 ppm. Different amounts of sodium chloride (0–70 μg/cm²) were added before exposure. The corrosion products were analyzed by gravimetry, ion chromatography, X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Mass gain and metal loss results are reported. The combination of high humidity and NaCl is very corrosive towards AZ91. However, the NaCl‐induced corrosion is inhibited by ambient concentrations of CO₂. Exposure in the absence of CO₂ gives rise to heavy pitting, with brucite, Mg(OH)₂, being the dominant corrosion product. In the presence of CO₂ a layer of hydrated magnesium hydroxy carbonate, Mg₅(CO₃)₄(OH)₂ · 5 H₂O forms. A tentative corrosion mechanism is presented that explains the behavior in the two environments.     

Simulation of the Forming Behaviour of a Boron Modified P91 Ferritic Steel

The forming behaviour at high temperature of a modified 9%Cr‐1%Mo (P91) ferritic steel containing B and Ti for elevated temperature service was investigated. The microstructure of the as‐received material is mainly martensite at room temperature, but special etching revealed prior austenite grains of about 25 μm in size. Torsion tests were conducted at temperatures in the range 850 to 1250 °C to simulate the hot rolling process under comparable conditions of temperature, strain rate and strain. The deformation data obtained from these tests were correlated with the Garofalo equation with a stress exponent of 4.6 and an activation energy of 315 kJ/mol. This equation was used to predict the formability behaviour for the rolling process and also to determine the maximum forming efficiency and stability of the steel. A temperature of 1200 °C is recommended to conduct the forming process.     

Numerical simulation of microstructure formation ofAZ91 using mCA method

A stochastic model for simulating the microstructure formation of Mg alloy AZ91 during solidification was developed based on the finite element method（FEM） for macroscopic model of heat transfer calculation and a modified Cellular Automaton （mCA） for microscopic modeling of nucleation, growth of crystal. In this model, the effect of solute redistribution, interface curvature and preferred orientation was considered. A numerical simulation was developed with C＋＋ program language. The computation was carded out to understand the effect of varying processing parameters, such as nucleation parameters and heat transfer coefficient, on the microstructure formation of AZ91. The result of simulation was displayed on screen.

AZ91D镁合金等径道角挤压制备半固态坯数值模拟

基于半固态坯采用等径道角挤压（ECAE）制备的应用背景，采用PRO／E建立了等径道角挤压的几何模型，通过压缩实验获取了AZ91D镁合金的高温应力应变曲线，采用有限元软件DEFORM-3D对ECAE挤压变形过程进行了模拟，分析了内外转角部位的应力（平均应力、最大主应力和等效应力）变化、应变分布情况等，以揭示等径道角挤压变形跟模具内转角半径的关系。结果表明，模具内转角半径不为零时，坯料挤压过程中，将有正虚力存在，并且内外转角应力变化不尽相同；应变分布不均匀，具有一定梯度；内转角部位，除了承受剪切，还受到压缩作用，外转角反之。     

铸态AZ80镁合金高温热变形行为研究

在Gleeble-1500热模拟机上对铸态AZ80镁合金在应变速率为0.005s-1~5s-1、变形温度为200℃~400℃条件下的高温热压缩变形行为进行了研究。结果表明,材料真应力-真应变曲线呈现动态再结晶特征。在温度T≥250℃,试样流变应力行为对应变速率敏感;在低温下T=200℃,应变速率对流变应力影响不大。高温下试样流变应力符合幂指数函数关系,应力指数n为6,热变形激活能Q为220kJ/mol。在高应变速率条件下,试样在变形中的温升是应变量的函数。实验中,Zener-Hollomon参数值大的试样温升明显,而Zener-Hollomon值小的试样变形温度基本保持不变。     

合金化对AZ91D镁合金组织与力学性能的影响

利用光学显微镜（OM）和X射线衍射（XRD）分析了分别加入合金化元素Ce，Si和Ca后AZ91D合金的铸态组织和相组成，测试了合金室温拉伸性能和硬度。结果表明：加入Ce和Si后合金组织中分别生成杆状Al4Ce和汉字状Mg2Si相，而加入Ca后无新相生成，加入的Ca主要固溶于β相中；Al4Ce和Mg2Si相在合金凝固过程中被推移到生长界面，Ca原子偏聚在生长界面前沿，从而阻碍枝晶的自由生长，细化合金铸态组织：Ce和Ca的加入可提高合金室温综合力学性能，且前者提高程度要高于后者提高程度，而Si的加入却降低合金室温综合力学性能。     

Effect of temperature on mechanical behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy

Strain rate sensitivity and tension/compression asymmetry of AZ31 magnesium alloy at different temperatures and strainrates were investigated.Both of mechanical behaviors are temperature dependent.Strain rate sensitivity increases with increasingtemperature.Thermally activated slip is the source of strain rate sensitivity.At the temperature below or near 373 K,strain ratesensitivity is very little.Tension/compression asymmetry in yielding decreases with increasing temperature.Twinning is the reasonof tension/compression asymmetry.At the temperature above or near 573 K,the material shows little tension/compressionasymmetry of the flow stress.
