Abstract:Microstructure evolution is studied in Thixomolded R Thermomechanical Processed (TTMP) AZ61L sheet at various stages of processing. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is utilized to examine (1) grain refinement and recrystallization and (2) refinement and re-distribution of the β-Mg 17 Al 12 phase in the as-Thixomolded, as-TTMP, and annealed conditions. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is used to study texture evolution through TTMP and annealing. The influence of microstructure produced by TTMP and… Show more
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.
