The effect of sample orientation on static recrystallization (SRX) of AZ31 magnesium alloy was investigated with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. Two kinds of samples, one was cut along the normal direction of the sheet (0 • sample), the other along the transverse direction of the sheet (90 • sample), were given 15% uniaxial compression strain at 150 £, followed by annealing at 275 £ for different times. The results show that slip dominates the deformation process during
The effect of inhomogeneous deformation on twinning behavior during uniaxial compression of AZ31 magnesium alloy at room temperature was investigated with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. The evolution of twin area fraction in three locations, typical of a dead zone, an easy zone and a free zone with strain was analyzed. The results show that the twin area fractions at the locations in dead zone, easy zone and free zone are different at compression strains less than 8%. As compression strain reaches 8%, the area fraction of extension twins at these three locations is almost the same, and is about 90%. Inhomogeneous deformation exerts much effect on the twin area fraction at the locations in the three zones at low strains while exerts little effect at high strains. Twin variant selection in the three zones at 2% strain was also analyzed. The results show that the twin variant activation is governed by the Schmid factor criterion in all the three zones. However, the percentage of grains with two twin variant types in free zone is higher than that in dead zone and easy zone, due to the different stress states in this location.
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.
