Improving mechanical properties of Mg-Al-Zn alloy sheets through accumulative roll-bonding

摘要

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential for improving the mechanical properties of Mg-Al-Zn alloy at room temperature by subjecting to accumulative roll-bonding(ARB).It is shown that ARB may be applied successfully to Mg-Al-Zn alloy at elevated temperatures and it leads to grain refinement and significant improvements in the ductility.The strength of the as-rolled Mg-Al-Zn alloy sheet after ARB processing is slightly decreased and basal texture is weakened by ARB processing.
