Uniaxial hot compression tests were performed at constant temperature (T) and strain rate
(ε& ) in the ranges of 200-500 °C at an interval of 50 °C and 0.001-20 s-1. The flow stress data were
used to develop the extrusion limit diagram for AZ31 and AM30 magnesium tubes. The extrusion
limit diagram shows a wide region available for extruding AZ31 and AM30 seamless tubes, and
comparison of the two extrusion limit diagrams shows that, the extrudability of AM30 alloy is better
than that of AZ31 alloy. Actual extrusion trials validated the predicted temperature rise limit curve
corresponding to the occurrence of surface cracking during the extrusion process. Magnesium tubes
were successfully extruded according to the safe regions identified by the extrusion limit diagram.
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.
