This contribution analyses influence of thermo mechanical conditions of magnesium alloy - type AZ31 forming on its flow stress. Temperature and strain/deformation rate belong to the essential thermo mechanical parameters of strain/deformation process. A testing cylinder made of selected Mg alloy was strained using pressure at warm temperatures within defined two degrees of nominal strain 30% and 60% and strain rate of 5 s-1. The pressure test at warm temperatures was conducted at testing temperatures 250, 300 and 350°C. It is important to explore the temperature influence on AZ31 alloy flow stress in order to reduce energy consumption of formed pieces production. Surface quality and precision of required dimension will improve, as well. The experiment was aimed at graphic evaluation of temperature influence on flow stress of Mg alloy AZ31B. Resulting form flow stress curve it is possible to read out its value for particular strain. These values are essential for calculation of forming force and work. For magnesium alloy AZ31 warm forming at temperature interval of 230 - 425°C is typical. The pressure tests were realized within the temperature interval of 250 - 350°C, i. e. at temperatures belonging to lower limit of recommended temperature interval, with the aim of acquirement as much information as possible on Mg alloy behavior at low forming temperatures.

The constitutive modeling of aluminum alloy under warm forming conditions generally considers the influence of temperature and strain rate. It has been shown by published flow stress curves of Al-Mg alloy that there is nearly no effect of strain rate on initial yield stress at various temperatures. However, most constitutive models ignored this phenomenon and may lead to inaccurate description. In order to capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, Peric model is modified via introducing plastic strain to multiply the strain rate, for eliminating the effect of strain rate when the plastic strain is zero. Other constitutive models including the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric are also considered and compared. The results show that the modified Peric model could not only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress, but also capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, while the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric model can only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress. Moreover, the modified Peric model could obtain proper static yield stress more naturally, and this property may have potential applications in rate-dependent simulations.

The paper presents a model of microstructure changes elaborated for magnesium alloy type AZ31. In previous papers, the function of flow stress was defined on the basis of uniaxial hot compression tests. On the basis of marked relaxation curves and quantitative tests of structure the softening indicators were defined together with elaboration of equations which describe the changes in the grain size. Marked coefficients of equations were introduced in the code of simulation program. Calculations were conducted for given temperature values from 450 ÷ 250°C and strain rate from 0.01 to 10 s-1, which correspond with rolling temperature range of this alloy. Prepared model will allow the proper choice of parameters in hot rolling process of this alloy to achieve the assumed microstructure.

The application of short carbon fibers in magnesium alloy AZ31 matrix composite fabrication by cold chamber pressure die casting was presented. A technological procedure of small-sized and complex-shaped composite casts manufacturing was shown. The microstructure of the composite was characterized as well as its mechanical properties, friction coefficient and wear resistance. The application of mechanical stirring of melted AZ31 alloy with short fibers and then AZ31-Cf suspension pressure die casting ensured obtaining casts with the reinforcing phase correctly distributed and well bonded with the matrix. Comparision of the AZ31-Cf composite with the AZ31 alloy properties, cast in the same conditions, revealed a considerable increase in bending strength and hardness, and some improvement of ductility and sliding friction parameters as a result of short carbon fibers application.

Process simulation is a powerful tool to predict material behaviors under specified deformation conditions, so as to optimize the processing parameters. The equation for flow stress is important to numerically analyze. However, the reported constitutive equations of magnesium alloy are only suitable for processing simulation with strain rate between 0.001-1s-1. In this paper, the strain-stress behavior of AZ31 under warm and high strain rate (>103s-1) condition has been investigated by split Hopkinson pressure bar experiments at elevated temperature. The results show that the influence of the temperature on flow stress is more obvious than that of strain rate; the flow stress decreases with the rise of temperature at a certain strain rate. Based on Johnson-Cook model, the constitutive equation of AZ31 magnesium alloy under warm and high strain rate condition has been given out by fitting the experimental data, which can be applied in process simulation of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet forming.

The deformation behaviors of as-cast Mg-11Gd-2Y-Zn-Zr magnesium alloy were investigated by compression test with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator at temperature of 623-753K and strain rate of 0.01-0.5 s-1. The flow stress behaviors of the magnesium alloy were carried out at a strain of 0.7. The strain rate and deformation temperature had great influence on the flow stress behaviors. The flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. The flow stress has more than one peak stress at a strain rate of 0.5s-1showing continuous dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism, while other flow stresses exhibited only one peak stress indicating discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) mechanism. It was also found that the flow stress behavior could be described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation, in which the determined average activation energy is 273.426 kJ·mol-1. The maximum error value between calculated value and experimental value is 5.5%. The deformation map was also established, and the best parameter for hot working was found to be 0.1s-1/753k approximately.

In this study, (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane–modified graphene oxide (GO) composite thin films were synthesized on magnesium alloy AZ31 substrate. The structure, composition, and morphology of silane-GO films were analyzed. Electrochemical measurements and immersion tests showed that silane-GO coatings provide effective protection for magnesium alloy substrates, owing to the good barrier property of the layered GO, and decrease the defects on the GO film surface due to the silane modification. In addition, the corrosion product between the outer silane-GO film and Mg alloy substrate also improved the corrosion resistance of the Mg alloy. Thus, silane-GO composite thin films provide an effective approach for protecting the lightweight metal substrate.
