This work conducted to investigate the effects of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) method on achieving the ultra-fine grain microstructure in AZ31 alloy. Accordingly, a number of ARB routes at 400°C, applying thickness reductions per pass of 35%, 55%, and 85% were performed. The results indicate that both the final grain size and the degree of bonding have been dictated by the thickness reduction per pass. The larger pass reductions promote a higher degree of bonding. Increasing the total strain stimulates the formation of a more homogeneous ultra fine grain microstructure.

In this paper, an ultra-fine grained AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet with grain size less than 3μm was generated by three-run accumulative roll bonding of as cast alloy at a deformation temperature of 350°C and a reduction of 80% for each pass. The microstructures on the different ARB stages were observed and superplasticity examination in the ultrafine grained AZ31 alloy were carried out at a fixed temperature of 300°C and varied strain rate ranging from 10-4 to 10-1 s-1. It is indicated that significant grain refinement was mainly achieved in the first run and gradual uniformity of grain size in the next by continuous dynamic recrystalization. Besides, a superplastic deformation with a moderate elongation-to-fracture of 316% was obtained at a strain rate of 10-2 s-1 indicating a low temperature and high strain rate superplasticity, while a maximum elongation-to-fracture of 562% at10-4 s-1. The strain rate sensitivity exponent as high as of 0.34-0.41 implies the dominant role of grain boundary sliding in superplastic deformation at strain rate ranging from 10-3 to 10-2 s-1. The results indicate a possible approach to produce magnesium alloy sheet with fine grain and excellent deep drawing workability.

Currently, magnesium alloys are gaining great interest for medical applications due to their degrading properties in the human body ensuring a great biocompatibility. These alloys also provide profitable mechanical properties due similarities with human bone.  However, a difficulty in applying these materials in the biomaterials industries is the corrosion prior to cell healing. The effect of the chemical composition of Mg alloys on their corrosion behavior is well known. In this study, samples of AZ31 magnesium alloy were cut into chips for elemental chemical analysis by neutron activation analysis (NAA). Concentrations of the elements As, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Sb and Zn were determined in the AZ31 alloy. Visualization tests of agar corrosion development in various media, of 0.90% sodium chloride solution (mass), phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and simulated body fluid (SBF) were performed. Visualizations of the effect of agar gel corrosion revealed pH variation during the corrosion process due to the released into the cathode. The highest released of hydroxyl ions occurred in NaCl solution compared to PBS and SBF solutions indicating that NaCl solution was much more aggressive to the alloy compared to the others.

The present study aims to investigate the effect of a prefabricated-crown rolling process on the corrosion characteristic of the AZ31 magnesium alloy. Specimens made of the AZ31 alloy were rolled under various crown conditions, and their microstructure evolution and corrosion behavior were analyzed. The corrosion behavior was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the corrosion-current density of the AZ31 alloy with a side pressure of 37.5 % of the plate thickness of the precast convexity decreased from 3.79 × 10–6 A/cm2 to 1.80 × 10–6 A/cm2, and the difference between the edge and the middle of the AZ31 alloy was shortened from 2.05 × 10–6 A/cm2 to 1.14 × 10–6 A/cm2. The charge-transfer resistance also increased from 507.1 Ω·cm2 to 581.2 Ω·cm2. The improvement in the corrosion resistance is a result of the more stable corrosion products and microstructure refinement formed after the prefabricated-crown rolling process.
