Temperature Dependency on the Microscopic Mechanism in the Normal Direction of Wrought AZ31 Sheet under Dynamic Compressive Behavior.

In order to analyze the competitive relationship of different deformation mechanisms in wrought AZ31 magnesium alloy, the dynamic compressive experiments were conducted by a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus and a resistance-heated furnace in the range of temperature between 20 and 350 °C at the strain rate of 1000 s. With the help of Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) observation, theoretical calculated Schmid Factor (SF), Critical Resolved Shear Stress (CRSS), and critical equivalent stress (σ0.2), the dynamic compressive deformation behavior and corresponding mechanism of wrought AZ31 magnesium alloy along the normal direction (ND) were revealed in the current study.
