Stress relaxation in rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets

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...

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 ...

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...
