Influence of Extrusion Temperature on Microstructure, Texture and Fatigue Performance of AZ80 and ZK60 Magnesium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The wrought magnesium alloys AZ80 and ZK60 were extruded at 175°C ≤ T ≤ 350°C at an extrusion ratio of ER = 12. With decreasing extrusion temperatures a marked refinement in grain size was found for both alloys resulting in higher values of yield stress while UTS values were hardly affected. As opposed to AZ80, a marked yield stress differential between loading in tension and compression was observed in ZK60, this effect being explained by the differences in crystallographic texture.
