Depending on its initial texture and external strain condition differences in deformation mechanisms, kinetics of dynamic recrystallization or even superplastic behaviors may emerge in magnesium alloys leading to distinct microstructure and texture evolutions. When imposed strain condition is altered, e.g. from plane strain compression to rolling or uniaxial compression, the deformation anisotropy will decrease in different rates and basal slip and {1012} twinning will dominate deformation process. This work examines this strain sensibility by inspecting the σ-ε curves, microstructures and textures in a quasi plane-strain compressed ZK60 alloy and compares the results with those of AZ31 alloy compressed in channel die.

The interest in magnesium and its alloys considerably increases in recent years. These materials have a unique complex of properties: light-weight and strength make magnesium alloys promising structural materials for the aircraft industry and space application, and ability to reabsorb in vivo conditions and good biocompatibility allow producing biodegradable surgical implants of magnesium alloys, which can resorb in a human body without detriment to health. The materials for such demanding applications require detailed investigation of their properties, such as corrosion, including the kinetics of corrosion rate and staging of corrosion damage on the surface. To obtain a full view of the corrosion process, in addition to common ex-situ methods such as the corrosion rate evaluating using the weight loss method and the morphology corrosion damage investigation by optical or confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), it is important to use modern in-situ methods. In-situ methods allow obtaining data immediately during the experiment and not after its completion. The authors carried out a comprehensive study of the corrosion process of the commercial ZK60 and AZ31 magnesium alloys in the simulated human-body environment (temperature, corrosion media composition, circulation of corrosion media) using in-situ methods, including hydrogen evolution corrosion rate evaluating and video-observation of a sample surface. The results show that AZ31 alloy is more corrosion-resistant than ZK60 alloy. Moreover, AZ31 alloy is prone to filiform surface corrosion, and ZK60 alloy exhibits severe pitting corrosion. Based on the comparison of the data obtained by in-situ and ex-situ methods, the authors concluded on their main differences and features.

The dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) behaviour of magnesium AZ31 is investigated using a plane strain compression (PSC) testing machine at 450°C. The variables included strain rate, double hit including intermittent anneal and double hits with different strain rate at each hit. The alloy shows higher peak stress and strain with increasing strain rates. Predominant basal texture with different intensities are observed at different strain rates. The annealing treatment between double tests leads to strong basal texture. Reversal of strain rate during double hit results in similar flow curves. This shows that in AZ31 alloy, DRX mechanism is independent of the initial microstructure and only depends on the test condition viz. temperature, strain rate and total equivalent strain.

The behavior of texture formation during high-temperature deformation in AZ80 magnesium alloy is investigated. Three kinds of specimens were machined out from rolled plates. The plane strain compression tests were conducted at various deformation conditions – temperature, strain and strain rate. After compression deformation, texture measurement was carried out on the mid-plane section parallel to the compression direction by the Schulz reflection method and EBSD measurement. The maximum values of the flow stress are observed in all the cases at the true stress – true strain curve for three type of specimens. It is found that the main component of texture and the accumulation of pole density vary depending on deformation condition and initial texture. Six kinds of crystal orientation components have been observed after deformation in total. (0001)<10-10> is formed regardless of the initial texture.

Plane strain problem is currently prevalent in the loess engineering. However, this problem still using conventional triaxial test method for processing. So the paper conducted the plain strain test, analyze differences in plane strain experiments with conventional triaxial experiments under different moisture content and confining pressure. Research shows two points, the first one is the impact on the strength of the soil is more under moisture content than confining pressure, the other is that the soil strength under the plane strain condition is significantly greater than conventional triaxial conditions. It shows that the results were conservative under the plane strain problem at past. It played a certain role in guiding the engineering.

Abstract The plastic flow associated with the three main methods of combining deformation mechanisms is described in terms of deformation kinetics. It is shown that the determination of the deformation kinetics as the initial step in the analysis is indispensable to the establishment of the activation parameters in functional forms. To this purpose, the effects of stress and temperature on the plastic strain rate are determined for three types of combined mechanisms, and qualitative comparison with experimental results is presented.
