Effects of Hot Extrusion and Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties and Microstructures of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

The effects of heat treatment on the microstructure, tensile property and fracture behavior of as-extruded AZ91 magnesium alloy were studied by OM and SEM. The results show that the grain of as-cast AZ91 alloy is refined by extruding and dynamic recrystallization, and the mechanical properties increase obviously. The ductility is significantly enhanced after solution treatment of the as-extruded AZ91 alloy, tensile strength is almost the same before and hardness is significantly reduced after solution treatment and artificial aging treatment. The tensile strength reduced and the ductility is significantly enhanced of as-extruded AZ91 magnesium alloy after annealing processes. The fracture surface of as-extruded AZ91 magnesium alloy has the mixture of ductile and brittle characteristic. But after T6 or annealing treatment, its dimple number increases evidently.
