Abstract:

Abstract. This study examined the critical plastic formability limit of a fine-structure AZ31 magnesium alloy plate under warm and high temperature based on the strength of a magnesium alloy that has cavities at room temperature. The cyclic hot free-forging process as pre-form working following rolling at a light reduction ratio fabricated a fine-structure AZ31 magnesium alloy plate. The appearance of the cavities was examined in detail together with changes in the structure and preparation methods before further damage at high temperatures with increasing uni-and biaxial plastic deformation. The allowable deformation limit in the super plasticity process can be estimated from the strength of the deformed material and forming limit diagram (FLD) at room temperature. During high-temperature deformation, cavities are produced by stress concentrations at grain boundary triple points and striation bands due to grain boundary sliding. The cavitations growth behavior is dependent upon deformation conditions, and a high percentage of large cavities occupy the sample surface as a large amount of grain boundary sliding is present, i.e., as uniform elongation grows larger, the cavity size also increases. In a case where 200% uniaxial strain was applied to a fine-grained structure material at a temperature of 623K under a strain rate of 10-4s-1, the tensile strength at room temperature decreased about 13%, and elongation was 10% less, compared with that of a material to which no load was applied due to the influence of cavities. In a case of biaxial deformation, the values were 28% lower. It is possible to draw a FLD based on the cavity incidence fraction .
