Effect of Alloying Elements on Microstructure, Texture Development, and Mechanical Properties of Magnesium Alloys

Abstract:

In this study, the magnesium alloys AZ31, ZK10, and ZEK100 are investigated through microstructure, texture, and tensile test. The sheets were hot rolled, and different results were found for different chemical compositions. The contained elements affected the grain size, shear band, twins, and intensity of the basal texture of the magnesium alloy. Thus, if a magnesium sheet had finer grains and a weak (00.1) texture because of its chemical composition, it had the most favorable formability.
