abstract

the evolution of texture was discussed during the formation of ultra-fine and nano grains in a magnesium alloy severely deformed through accumulative back extrusion (abe). the microstructure and texture obtained after applying multiple deformation passes at temperatures of 100 and 250°c were characterized. the results showed that after single abe pass at 100°c an ultrafine/nano grained microstructure was obtained, while the initial texture was completely replaced by a new fiber basal texture, inclined at 40°c to the transverse direction. as the processing temperature increased to 250°c, the obtained texture intensities were strengthened, though the c-axis of crystals gradually rotated towards the transverse direction and a fiber texture parallel to normal direction was developed. moreover, repetitive abe was associated with the tendency of the basal plane to lie parallel to td, while the orientation of the prismatic planes showed a random distribution around nd. after eight passes, the most noticeable texture obtained included the fiber basal texture oriented almost parallel to the transverse direction, and perpendicular to the ed and parallel to the nd. the maximum texture intensity decreased as the number of passes increased, which is attributed to strain path change involved during each consecutive abe pass, as well as promoted the contribution of non-basal slip systems.

Mechanical Behavior of an Ultrafine/Nano Grained Magnesium Alloy

The application of magnesium alloys is greatly limited because of their relatively low strength and ductility. An effective way to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy is to refine the grains. As the race for better materials performance is never ending, attempts to develop viable techniques for microstructure refinement continue. Further refining of grain size requires, however...

Recrystallization texture during ECAP processing of ultrafine/nano grained magnesium alloy

An ultrafine/nano grained AZ31 magnesium alloy was produced through four-pass ECAP processing. TEM microscopy indicated that recrystallized regions included nano grains of 75 nm. Pole figures showed that a fiber basal texture with two-pole peaks was developed after four passes, where a basal pole peak lies parallel to the extrusion direction (ED) and the other ~20° away from the transverse dire...

The effect of twinning on texture evolution during ECAP processing of an AM30 magnesium alloy

An AM30 magnesium alloy was processed through ECAP method at 200 °C. Optical and transmission electron microscopy as well as electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique were employed to characterize the deformed microstructure. A partially recrystallized microstructure including ultrafine/nano structures was obtained. The area fraction of 49% was measured for the recrystallized regions...

Microstructural evolution , strengthening and thermal stability of an ultrafine - grained Al - Cu - Mg alloy

To gain insight into the origin of the ultra-high strength of ultrafine-grained (UFG) alloys, the solute clustering, precipitation phenomena, and microstructural evolutions were studied in an UFG Al-4.63Cu-1.51Mg (wt.%) alloy (AA2024) processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The thermal analysis was performed using differential scanning calorimetry. The microstructures, internal microstrains a...
