It had been already reported that the resistance of compression at warm condition can be decreased by the preliminary torsion working at AZ31B magnesium alloy. In the present study, it was found that the dynamic recrystallization occured during warm working by torsion. Dynamic recrystallization was slightly seen in the fractured edge of the bar at a rotation speed of 1rpm at temperature 573K and 623K. The amount of torsion to fracture was increased with increasing of deformation temperature. Remarkable dynamic recrystallization could be seen in the center of bar at the rotation speed of 1rpm at temperature of 673K.

Microstructure evolution characteristics and the influence of the intial grain size on the dynamic recrystallization of AZ31 were investigated by rolling at deformation temperature of 280 °C, 30% reduction and strain rate of 5.6s-1. The results indicate that under the present deformation condition, when the grain size is 6.2μm the dynamic recrystallization does not occur , twinning dynamic recrystallization (TDRX) occurs when the original grain size are of 7.9μm and 12.7μm, when the original grain size is 21.1μm rotating dynamic recrystallization (RDRX) occurs.

The microstructure and material properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy are very sensitive to process parameters, which directly determine the service properties. To explore and understand the deformation behavior and the optimization of the deformation process, the microstructure evolution during equal channel angular pressing was predicted by using the DEFORM-3D software package at different temperature. To verify the finite element simulation results, the microstructure across the transverse direction of the billet was measured. The results show that the effects strain and deformation temperatures on the microstructure evolution of AZ31 magnesium during ECAP process are significant, and a good agreement between the predicted and experimental results was obtained, which confirmed that the derived dynamic recrystallization mathematical models can be successfully incorporated into the finite element model to predict the microstructure evolution of ECAP process for AZ31 magnesium.

Az31 Magnesium Alloy Sheet

Magnesium alloy sheets had to be rolled at elevated temperature to avoid cracking. The poor workability of magnesium alloy is ascribed to its hcp crystallography and insufficient activation of independent slip systems. Present authors have succeeded in 1-pass heavy rolling of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet below 473K by raising rolling speed above 1000m/min. Heavy reduction larger than 60% can be applied by 1-pass high speed rolling even at room temperature. The improvement of workability at lower rolling temperature is due to temperature rise by plastic working. The texture of heavily rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet is investigated in the present study. The texture of sheets rolled 60% at room temperature was <0001>//ND basal texture. At the rolling temperature above 373K, the peak of (0001) pole tilted ±10-15 deg toward RD direction around TD axisto form a double peak texture. The texture varied through thickness. At the surface, the (0001) peak tilted ±10-15 deg toward TD direction around RD axis to form a TD-split double peak texture. The direction of (0001) peak splitting rotated 90 deg from the surface to the center of thickness. Heavily rolled magnesium alloy sheets have non-basal texture. The sheets having non-basal texture are expected to show better ductility than sheets with basal texture.

The formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets has been investigated in the temperature range varying from 200 to 300°C. Forming limit diagrams have been obtained by performing Nakazima-based tests. The different straining conditions have been investigated using sheet blanks with several length to width ratios. The forming limit curves have been related to the microstructural evolution occurring during deformation. The forming limit diagrams have shown a remarkable increase in formability with temperature that could be related to the occurrence of full dynamic recrystallization at 300°C.
