Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of AZ31+Sr+Y Magnesium Alloy Sheets Produced by Twin-Roll Casting and Sequential Hot Rolling

Abstract:

In this paper, the deformation properties of AZ31+Sr+Y magnesium alloy sheets produced by twin-roll casting (TRC) and sequential hot rolling were studied by the tensile testing at a strain rate of 7×10^-4s^-1 and various temperatures: room temperature (RT), 200°C, 300°C and 400°C, respectively. The result shows that the microstructure of AZ31+Sr+Y alloy was refined obviously by adding elements Sr and Y, the elongation of the alloy increased with increasing temperature, and the fracture behavior of the alloy changed from brittle fracture to ductile fracture with increasing temperature. During the process of plastic deformation of AZ31+Sr+Y alloy, the twin plays a leading role at room temperature; the dislocation movement is regarded as the main deformation mechanism at 200° C; at the higher temperature (above 300°C) the grain boundary slip (GBS) plays a dominant role .
