Microstructural and Textural Investigation of an Mg-Zn-Al-Ca Alloy after Hot Plane Strain Compression.

The formability of magnesium alloys can be significantly improved by Ca as an alloying addition. Compared to conventional alloy sheets such as AZ31, texture modification can be found in rolled Mg-Ca sheets, which reveal a randomized orientation distribution.

Orthotropic Behavior of Twin-Roll-Cast and Hot-Rolled Magnesium ZAX210 Sheet.

Magnesium sheet metal alloys offer a deformation asymmetry, which is strongly related to grain size and texture. In order to predict deformation behavior as well as to provide methods to eliminate anisotropy and yield asymmetry, a lot of effort is invested in studying the tension-compression asymmetry of magnesium alloys. However, only a few studies deal with the characterization of the yield asymmetry of magnesium wrought alloys, especially Ca-containing alloys, related to temperature and strain.

Hot Deformation and Dynamic Recrystallisation Behaviour of Twin-Roll Cast Mg-6.8Y-2.5Zn-0.4Zr Magnesium Alloy.

In this work, the deformation behaviour of a twin-roll cast (TRC) Mg-6.8Y-2.5Zn-0.

Microstructure and Hot Deformation Behavior of Twin Roll Cast Mg-2Zn-1Al-0.3Ca Alloy.

In the present work, the microstructure, texture, mechanical properties as well as hot deformation behavior of a Mg-2Zn-1Al-0.3Ca sheet manufactured by twin roll casting were investigated. The twin roll cast state reveals a dendritic microstructure with intermetallic compounds predominantly located in the interdendritic areas.
