On the anisotropic deformation of AZ31 Mg alloy under compression

Influence of texture and grain size on the room-temperature ductility and tensile behavior in a Mg–Gd–Zn alloy processed by rolling and forging

“…Texture analysis, of the rolled samples in the rolling direction (RD)-transverse direction (TD) plane and the forged samples in the final forging plane, was performed using the Schultz reflection method by X-ray diffraction [19]. Calculated pole figures were obtained with the DIFFRACplus TEXEVAl software, using the measured incomplete {0 0 0 2}, {1 0À1 0} and {1 0À1 1} pole figures.…”

Effect of heavy metal impurities in secondary Mg alloys on the microstructure and mechanical properties during deformation

“…Aside from the strength differential, the flow behavior of all four specimens during PSC deformation was very similar. At 200°C f1 0 1 2g tensile twinning can be expected to occur when the extruded specimens are subjected to compressive loading during PSC [9][10][11], which resulted in relatively low yield strength values between 110 MPa and 145 MPa depending mostly on the chemical composition of the specimen material with respect to impurity levels. The twinning activity can be assigned to the small strain regime of the work hardening curve up to $6% strain, at which this type of twinning is normally completed [12].…”

Effect of Initial Texture on Rollability of Mg-3Al-1Zn Alloy Sheet

“…The anisotropic texture evolution characteristics may explain the different dimensions of samples A and B after rolling: in sample A where loading is perpendicular to the c-axis of HCP lattice, twinning is favored in the beginning, followed by pyramidal slip, both contribute to the stretching along c-axis, making the transverse dimension wider [13]. Meanwhile in sample B with a strong initial basal texture, basal slip (along the rolling direction, RD) is dominant upon compressive loading along ND, which makes the sample much longer.…”

“…Effects of initial texture on dynamic recrystallization [9], plastic anisotropy [10], microstructure, and formability [11] of Mg-3Al-lZn alloy were studied by using uniaxial compression tests. When the loading direction is close to the c-axis of the HCP lattice, the flow stress is higher than that perpendicular to c-axis, which gives better ductility [12,13]. Despite these useful information, the rolling deformation occurred in practice is much more complex than uniaxial compression.…”
