The Development of Superplasticity and Deformation Mechanism Maps in an Ultrafine-Grained Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium alloys with refined grain structure are often superplastic at elevated temperatures with maximum elongations up to more than 1000%. The superplastic behavior of this material agrees with deformation by grain boundary sliding. Dislocation climb becomes the rate controlling mechanism at higher stresses but the rate controlling mechanism at lower stresses is not fully documented. This report examines the development of superplasticity in a magnesium ZK60 alloy and shows that an increase in stress exponent and decrease in elongation takes place at low stresses. Deformation mechanism maps are constructed considering Regions I, II and III and Coble creep.
