Effects of Texture on Tensile Properties of Hot Extruded Mg-6Zn-1Y-1Ce Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure, texture, and tensile properties of hot extruded Mg-6Zn-1Y-1Ce alloy obtained at a temperature range of 300 °C to 400 °C were studied. Electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) results revealed that strong basal plane texture was found along extrusion direction in the sample extruded below 340 °C due to discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism. In the sample extruded at 340 °C the average value of Schmid factor (SF) of {0001}〈11-20〉 slip system was 0.09. However, the sample extruded above 370 °C had weak basal texture under the control of continuous DRX mechanism, and the SF was well-distributed with an average value of about 0.32. The strengths of as-extruded samples decreased with increase of extrusion temperatures. In addition to fine grain strengthening, texture strengthening had a significant contribution to the high strength for the sample extruded at low temperature.
