Strains under Angular Pressing of a Strip from a Cylindrical Billet

Abstract:

The scheme of non-equal channel angular pressing (non-ECAP) of a magnesium billet has been analyzed. The modeling was performed by DEFORM-2D software. A high level of strain is shown to be achieved during non-ECAP. It leads to more homogenous structure refinement of magnesium and plasticity improvement that could favorably affect the subsequent deformation of a Mg-strip by cold rolling. At non-ECAP-process, the upper part of the strip is noted to be hardened more than the lower one. The lower part is supposed to be formed by extensional strain mainly, meanwhile for the upper one, the prime mechanism is likely to be shear strain. Based on hardness measurement of the samples cut from the obtained Mg-strip, conclusions have been made about the influence of the accumulated strain during non-ECAP on the strength properties of the strip.
