Effect of Rolling Temperature on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-2Zn-0.4Y Alloy Subjected to Large Strain Rolling

Large strain rolling (LSR) has been conducted on the Mg-2Zn-0.4Y alloy. After the 1st rolling process at 250, 300, 350, and 400 °C, the alloy demonstrates a fully recrystallized microstructure. The grain size increases from 6, 8, 12, to 17 μm with an increasing rolling temperature....

description Large strain rolling (LSR) has been conducted on the Mg-2Zn-0.4Y alloy. After the 1st rolling process at 250, 300, 350, and 400 °C, the alloy demonstrates a fully recrystallized microstructure. The grain size increases from 6, 8, 12, to 17 μm with an increasing rolling temperature. After the 2nd rolling process at 300 °C, twinning and shear bands were introduced. During the 3rd rolling process at 350 °C, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was observed and resulted in a more uniform microstructure. DRX occurred because of temperature increase and large dislocation density induced by LSR. For the room temperature tensile tests, the plates rolled at 300 and 350 °C in the 1st rolling process demonstrate higher strength and lower elongation due to twinning. The one rolled at 400 °C in the 1st rolling process, shows the most uniform rolling microstructure and the best combination of strength and elongation at room temperature.
