Effect of As-Rolled Microstructure on Static Recrystallization Characteristics and Texture Evolution during Annealing

Abstract:

Magnesium AZ31 alloy sheets were rolled at 100 °C at a high rolling speed of 1000 m/min. After 30% reduction, the microstructure was heavily twinned and shear banded, while a partially dynamically recrystallized and twinned microstructure was seen at the reduction of 49%. The as-rolled specimens were then annealed at 500 °C for increasing times. Microstructure and texture were characterized by optical microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Texture weakening was found during annealing of the specimens at both reductions. However, the texture weakening was more effective in the fully twinned and shear banded specimen than the partially DRXed and twinned specimen. Effects of as-rolled microstructure on static recrystallization characteristics and texture evolution during annealing were studied.
