Twin roll casting process combines casting and hot rolling into a single process. In this study,
mechanical properties at room temperature and microstructure of the twin roll cast AZ91
magnesium alloy are investigated. The alloy exhibited a good combination of high ultimate strength
of 343MPa, yield stress of 224MPa and elongation to failure of 13%. The mechanical property was
very excellent compared with AZ91 die-cast alloy. EPMA analysis reveals that the Al concentration
in Mg matrix is higher in twin roll cast alloy than that in die-cast alloy. This high Al concentration
must be the origin of the good mechanical properties of twin roll cast alloy at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
