Production of Fine-Grained and Weak Texture Structure in an Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr Alloy by Multi-Axial Forging

Article Preview

Abstract:

Multi-axial forging was employed to produce simultaneously ultrafine grain size and weak texture in an Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy. The results indicate that the structure of fine grain size and weak texture could be achieved after two cycles of multi-axial forging, which leads to a substantial mechanical properties improvement. The grain refinement mechanism and texture evolution of Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy during multi-axial forging have been investigated.
