Effect of Process Temperature on the Texture Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Rolled and Extruded AZ31 Flat Products

The application of magnesium flat products is affected by the limited formability at room temperature and anisotropy mechanical properties. main reason for this underlying hexagonal crystal structure development strong crystallographic textures during massive forming processes with distinct alignment basal planes. For an improvement in properties semi-finished products, detailed knowledge influence manufacturing process on microstructure texture evolution as a result dynamic static recrystallization required. In work, made conventional alloy AZ31 were manufactured rolling well direct extrusion, variation temperature. This allowed microstructures products. effects are highlighted discussed relation to texture. It shown that both have major consequently material
