Effect of Tensile Twinning on Low Temperature Shear Formability of Mg-3Al-1Zn Alloy
Abstract:
Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) alloy samples with different starting textures have been processed using Equal Channel Angular Processing (ECAP) at 150°C and 200°C. The common temperature limit for ECAP of wrought AZ31 alloys has been reduced from 200°C to 150°C by suppressing tensile twinning activity. Twinning activity was reduced by either changing the starting texture or increasing the temperature. A crystal plasticity model was utilized to gain a better insight into the operating deformation mechanisms during ECAP. Suppression of tensile twinning and pronounced prismatic slip activity resulted in a crack-free, homogeneous deformation at 150°C. In addition, twinning, when exists, was shown to have a significant effect on the promotion of DRX and shear band formation.
