Numerical Analysis of Az61 Magnesium Alloy Extrusion Process by Modified Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ecae) Method

T. Bajor, M. Krakowiak, P. Szota, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland The paper presents the results of numerical modelling of AZ61 magnesium alloy hot deformation using modified ECAE method. The temperature-velocity conditions were analysed using FEM. The extrusion process was realised using the die with modified angular channel containing horizontal contracting zone in t...

Characteristics of Cavitation in a Superplastic Magnesium Az31 Alloy Processed by Equal- Channel Angular Pressing

Experiments were conducted on a magnesium AZ31 alloy to evaluate the role of cavitation in high temperature superplasticity. Samples were processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and then pulled to failure in tension at a temperature of 623K. Similar tests were also conducted on the as-received alloy. The results show the development of significant internal cavitation in this alloy wh...

Plastic deformation of 7075 Aluminum Alloy using Integrated Extrusion-Equal Channel Angular Pressing

Grain refinement improves the mechanical properties and formability of metals and alloys. So far, several different grain refinement methods have been proposed and studied. Severe plastic deformation is one of the most promising and efficient methods. Therefore, in the present study the possibility of imposing a two-step severe plastic deformation (Extrusion and Equal channel angular pressing) ...

Anodizing of Magnesium Alloy Az31 by Alkaline Solution

-Anodizing of AZ 31 Mg alloy was investigate in 3M KOH solution for 10, 20 and 30min. at constant voltage of 5V. Atomic force microscope (AFM) used to investigate the roughness of anodic film formed on the surface while the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to determine the morphology of the anodic film, it was found that the roughness of the anodic film is mainly depend on the anodiz...
