Microstructure Evolution of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy in Rolling Zone

Abstract:

In order to study the details of deformation and microstructures evolution during rolling and annealing process, magnesium alloy AZ31 blank, cast by unidirectional solidification and then sliced, has been rolled at high temperature with one pass deduction of 50% in a 2-high mill. During the rolling process, the mill was stopped, and the rolled sheet was rapidly cooled by the cold rolls. Samples with full length of rolling bite zone were cut form the semi-rolled sheet. Because twinning deformation can be reserved even the sample was polished and etched. The continuous changes of microstructure, from entrance to exit of roll bite, both rolled and annealed samples, were evaluated by Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results revealed that grain refinement mechanism was twinning intersection which segmented large grains into small pieces. The average grain size is 7µm after one pass 50% reduction hot rolling and 350°C, 15min annealing.
