Effect of Precipitation on Texture Evolution during Dynamic Recrystallization in Mg-Al-Sn Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

In common magnesium alloys, recrystallization is usually not accompanied with a noticeable change of deformation texture resulting in, strong mechanical anisotropy. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of dynamic or strain induced precipitates on texture evolution during hot deformation of Mg-Al-Sn alloys. Mg-Al-Sn alloys have been designed using thermodynamic modeling software, FactSage, based on forming precipitates at hot deformation temperatures. Two alloys have been chosen in a way that one forms precipitates during the hot deformation process, another does not at a certain temperature. Uniaxial compression has been introduced at different strain rates at this elevated temperature to simulate the hot deformation behaviour. Two alloys have been compared in terms of the intensity of basal texture. It was found that the formation of dynamic precipitates during deformation weakens the texture compared to the case where no precipitates were formed.
