“…Magnesium wrought alloys of the AZ family are of actual interest for the use as structural components due to the possibility to obtain even improved and more homogenous properties compared to cast components. Especially extrusion as a form giving technology offers the possibility to produce such profiles that are long and/or have a thin-walled structure [1][2][3]. The process parameters significantly influence the microstructural evolution e.g.…”

Acoustic emission (AE) was monitored and analysed during tensile tests of pure Mg and Mg alloys of AZ series in order to study the influence of the alloy composition on plastic deformation. The Kaiser effect was used to determine the stability of microstructure. During the tests at room temperature, repeated stress relaxations were performed. The solute-dislocation interaction in the alloys leads to ageing phenomenons, which are manifested as the post-relaxation effect and subsequent serrated flow (Portevin-Le Chatelier effect). The post-relaxation effect was sensitive to the alloy composition and to the strain, at which the stress relaxation was performed.

“…9). German government King Magnesium: commodity or exotic supported multipartner projects, such as InMaK 22 and ULM 23 , have developed technology for the integration of wrought and cast magnesium components in body structures and evaluated the process chain required for manufacture of ultralight weight magnesium sheet components respectively, including the manufacture and testing of demonstrator components. European automotive suppliers, such as Wagon, have demonstrated all-magnesium solutions for door assemblies with considerable weight saving.…”

The structural use of magnesium through the 20th century is briefly reviewed, highlighting fluctuating levels of development and use influenced by military applications in two World Wars. Development of more efficient processes, improved corrosion resistant alloys and availability of lower cost metal now offer potential for major expansion in magnesium consumption in the 21st century. A review of current worldwide use indicates major growth in structural transport applications. Apart from the obvious advantage of light weight, other important attributes making magnesium an attractive contender for transport applications are considered. Requirements for magnesium to compete effectively as a commodity material are reviewed. Key areas for development are commercial transport, aerospace and high performance uses. The most important is commercial transport. Significant developments in alloy technology and applications for die casting are described and more speculative growth in use of wrought components discussed. A similar review and analysis of developments for aerospace and high performance applications is given. Alloys developed and properties achieved differ significantly from those considered for higher volume commercial applications and include highly sophisticated alloying and manufacturing technology. Although the main theme is magnesium's potential as a commodity material, more exotic applications of magnesium alloys are reviewed. These include electrochemical alloys, space and missile applications, composite materials, non-equilibrium alloys and medical uses. Finally, the future priorities for development of technology and applications are examined by reference to a recent UK 'road mapping' exercise, which was in general accord with similar exercises in Japan, Germany and the USA.

“…The plastic deformation process is an effective way to improve the mechanical properties of the magnesium alloy [1][2][3]. While the deformation capability of magnesium alloy is poor, and the deformation mechanism for the magnesium deformation is not clear, so the conventional deformation technique can not catch up with the growing need of the excellent properties of magnesium alloy [4,5].…”

The effect of different hydrostatic extrusion ratios on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the ZK60 magnesium alloys were investigated. The results showed that, the major deformation mechanism of the alloy is twinning at room temperature, which resulted in that the tensile strengthen and hardness of the extruded alloy improved greatly. With deformation ratio increasing, the ultimate tensile strengthen and hardness are linearly increased, with the functions of Y= 4.2X+358.3 and Y=2.3X +73.69, respectively. And the maximum tensile strength and hardness of the extruded alloy are 383 MPa and 87HB, respectively. But the elongation decreases obviously, the minimum decreasing degree is 50%. With the deformation ratio increasing, the tendency of elongation rate increased as an “M” model.
