Statistical Analysis on Static Recrystallization Texture Evolution in Cold-Rolled AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Sheet

Statistical analysis on static recrystallization texture evolution in cold-rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet.

Cast AZ31B-H24 magnesium alloy, comprising Mg with 3.27 wt% Al and 0.96 wt% Zn, was cold rolled and subsequently annealed. Global texture evolutions in the specimens were observed by X-ray diffractometry after the thermomechanical processing. Image-based microstructure and texture for the deformed, recrystallized, and grown grains were observed by electron backscattered diffractometry. Recrysta...

Quasi-Static and Dynamic Characterization of Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) –Processed and Rolled AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Sheet

Effect of Processing Methods on Texture Evolution in AZ31 Mg Alloy Sheet

Textures of AZ31 Mg alloy sheets were evaluated by using neutron diffraction method in this study. The AZ31 sheets were fabricated either by conventional casting and subsequent hot rolling or strip casting. The effect of warm rolling was investigated using the AZ31 Mg alloy sheet produced by conventional casting. Warm rolling of 30% thickness reduction per pass was possible without any side-cra...

Strain-induced Texture Development in the Magnesium Alloy Az31

Magnesium alloys are receiving increasing attention as a structural material in vehicles to reduce weight and increase fuel economy. Understanding the formability of lightweight alloys is one key to their successful introduction in vehicles. We present results of X-Ray diffraction and electron back-scatter diffraction texture measurements in as-cast and uniaxially compressed AZ31 for a variety ...

Microstructural evolution during recrystallization in hot rolled Aluminum Alloy 1050

The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hot-rolled AA1050. Samples prepared from a hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The spatial orientation variation within the deformed microstructure of nucleation, growth and orientations of recrystallized grains is examined. The microstructural ...
