The CW CO2 laser weldability of various Al-Mg alloys was investigated in terms of weld strength, ductility, Vickers hardness, formability and solidification cracking tendency when both autogenous and wire feed welding were made. Tensile strength of the laser welds was lower than that of the corresponding base metals, and it was linearly proportional to the Mg content of the weld metal. Formability and ductility of Al-Mg alloy laser welds were lower than those of corresponding base alloys as well. As for the weld solidification structure, as the Mg content increased in the weld metal, more equiaxed grains developed. Hence, softening of weld metal and solidification cracking were decreased in the weld metal containing higher Mg. Solidification cracking of Al-Mg alloy laser welds showed the highest susceptibility at 1.6 to 1.9wt.% Mg, and it decreased with further increase of Mg content.

In the present works, the change of a rolling texture by La or Mm (Misch metal) addition in high Mg content (>5wt%) Al - Mg alloy was investigated. By Mm addition, B (Brass) orientation {011} 〈112〉 was typically developed with Mg contents and it was accelerated by La , Mm additions. TC (twin copper) orientation {255} 〈511〉 and G (Goss) orientation {110} 〈001〉 orientations closely related mechanical twinning were decreased in intensity and development of coarsen share bend was suppressed by Mm addition in Al -10wt% Mg alloy. And it caused improvement of formability by Mm addition in high Mg content Al - Mg alloy.

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) binary Al-xMg (x=1, 5 and 7 wt %) alloys were processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature via route Bccombined with inter-pass annealing. The effects of Mg content, grain size and strain rate on mechanical properties and dynamic strain aging (DSA) behaviour of the Al-Mg alloys upon tensile testing at room temperature were studied. An increase in Mg content from 5 to 7 wt % leads to a pronounced increase in strength and uniform elongation in both the as-homogenized and as-ECAP Al-Mg alloys. Thereby, the Al-7Mg alloy, either prior to or after ECAP processing, possess significantly higher strength and comparable or even higher uniform elongation than the more dilute Al-Mg alloys. However, the as-ECAP Al-Mg alloys exhibit significantly higher strength but little work hardening and hence rather limited uniform elongation. In general, decreasing grain size leads to significant increase in strength while dramatic decrease in ductility. Moreover, DSA serration amplitudes increase with reducing grain size in the micrometer range. However, the UFG Al-Mg alloys exhibit much less DSA effect than the micrometer scaled grain size counterparts, i.e. probably due to the high dislocation densities and special grain boundary features in the UFG materials. Also, the Al-Mg alloys, especially those with a UFG structure, exhibit higher strength and ductility at lower strain rate than at higher strain rate, due mainly to enhanced DSA effect and hence work hardening at a lower strain rate.
