Microstructural and textural evolution of AZ31 magnesium alloy during differential speed rolling

Shear banding phenomenon during severe plastic deformation of an AZ31 magnesium alloy

“…Observations of shear banding were interpreted in terms of the tendency for strain concentration as quantified by normalized flow softening. Similarly, Huang et al has discussed that the shear bands may exhibit a favoured crystalline orientation for localization and cracking via shearing fracture [8]. The phenomenon of shear banding during severe deformation of magnesium alloy is not well understood.…”

Texture evolution and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets processed by repeated unidirectional bending

“…At present, the asymmetric rolling (ASR) was used to process the magnesium alloy sheet with rotating the basal plane away from the rolling plane. Several investigations into the microstructure of and texture evolution in magnesium alloys processed by asymmetric rolling can be found in the literature [12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy sheets with a tilted basal texture were obtained by asymmetric rolling and compared with a normal symmetrically rolled sheet, the ASR-processed sheet showed a larger uniform elongation.…”

Analysis of microstructure and texture evolution in pure magnesium during symmetric and asymmetric rolling

“…Several investigations into the microstructure of and texture evolution in magnesium alloys can be found in the literature [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. However, the mechanism of texture evolution, occurrence of dynamic recrystallization or ideal position, and their persistence characteristics are not yet well understood.…”
