Dynamic recrystallization kinetics in Mg-3Gd-1Zn magnesium alloy during hot deformation

Using the compression tests on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator to study the dynamic recrystallization behaviours of AZ80 magnesium alloy in the temperature range of 593-683K and strain rate range of 0.01-10s-1. By the analysis of the dynamic recrystallization kinetics, the Avrami exponent (m) and the constant (k) have been determined, and they aren’t constant and depend on the dimensionless parameter(Z/A).

Continuous Dynamic

Hot deformation and associated structural changes were studied in compression of a magnesium alloy AZ31 with initial grain sizes (D0) of 22 µm and 90 µm at a temperature of 573K. D0 influences significantly the flow curve and the kinetics of grain refinement during hot deformation. For D0 = 22 µm, grain fragmentation takes place due to frequent formation of kink bands initially at corrugated grain boundaries and then in grain interiors in low strain, followed by full development of new fine grains in high strain. For D0 = 90 µm, in contrast, twinning takes place in coarser original grains, and then kink bands and new fine grains are formed mainly in finer ones at low strains. Then new grains are formed in necklace along the boundaries of coarse original grains, followed by their development into the grain interiors. Grain refinement in the Mg alloy can be concluded to result from a series of deformation-induced continuous reactions, they are essentially similar to continuous dynamic recrystallization (cDRX).

The Stability

The dynamic microstructure evolution of Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn-5Li magnesium alloy during hot deformation is studied by hot compression tests over the temperature range of 200–350 °C under the strain rate of 0.001–1 s−1, whereafter constitutive equations and processing maps are developed and constructed. In most of cases, the material shows typical dynamic recrystallization (DRX) features, with a signal peak value followed by a gradual decrease. The value of Q (deformation activation energy) is 138.89414 kJ/mol, and the instability domains occur at high strain rate but the stability domains are opposite, and the optimum hot working parameter for the studied alloy is determined to be 350 °C/0.001 s−1 according to the processing maps. Within 200–350 °C, the operating mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn-5Li alloy during hot deformation is mainly affected by strain rate. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) structures are observed from the samples at 300 °C/0.001 s−1 and 350 °C/0.001 s−1, which consist of continuous DRX (CDRX) and discontinuous DRX (DDRX). However, dynamic recovery (DRV) still dominates the softening mechanism. At the grain boundaries, mass dislocation pile-ups and dislocation tangle provide sites for potential nucleation. Meanwhile, flow localization bands are observed from the samples at 200 °C/1 s−1 and 250 °C/0.1 s−1 as the main instability mechanism.
