Abstract: The hot compression deformation behavior of AZ81 magnesium alloy was studied with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulation machine at the strain rate of 0.003 ~ 3.0s-1 and temperature of 340 ~ 430 °C. The results show that, the flow stress decreases when the deformation temperature increases and strain rate decreases; the peak stress increases with decrease of the temperature and the increase of the strain rate; the critical strain that comes into stable phase increases obviously. It is that the high temperature flow stress model of AZ81 magnesium alloy is constructed by introduceing Zener-Hollomon parameters, its average deformation activation energy is 169.48 kJ / mol. Processing maps of AZ81 magnesium alloy is also calculated and analyzed by the dynamic model of the material. Useing hot deformation processing maps, the flow instability zone is determined and the best process parameters access to the test parameters during hot deformation are as follow: thermal processing temperature range of 380 °C ~ 420 °C, strain rate range of 0.01 ~ 0.03 S^-1.

Abstract: Mg scrap is notorious for the high cost and serious pollution of its recycling process due to the good wettability and similar density of Mg melt to its solid inclusions. To support the sustainable growth of Mg industry and application, intensive effort has been contributed to the development high efficiency, flux-free purification techniques for Mg scrap recycling. In the present study, the purification of Mg scrap melt via filtration was theoretically analyzed by multi-phase fluid hydrodynamics. The relationships between the nozzle size in the filtration medium, melt penetrating-through speed and other filtration parameters were formulated. To provide a guideline to filtration engineering, the influence of processing parameters on the filtering efficiency were discussed.
