The texture development and microstructural evolution have been investigated for the AZ31 alloys rolled by cross-roll rolling at 823 K. After the AZ31 magnesium sheets were rolled by cross-roll rolling at 823 K, the total reduction in thickness of 65% were achieved after two pass rolling. The resultant microstructures are homogeneous and refined for the surface and center layers. The (0002) basal texture is significantly weakened after annealing at 623 K for 1 h for the cross-roll rolled sheets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
