Microstructure and mechanical properties of differently extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy
-
Michael Huppmann
Abstract
Profiles of the magnesium alloy AZ31 were produced by conventional indirect extrusion and by indirect extrusion into counterpressure with variations of the billet temperature TB from 200 °C up to 350 °C. Microstructural examination by optical microscopy showed that for extrusion trials carried out with billet temperatures TB ≤ 250 °C fine dynamically recrystallized grains are found while elongated grains of the former cast structure remain. Above TB ≥ 300 °C most grains show higher dynamic recrystallization kinetics and additional static recrystallization and increase to grain sizes of d = 30 – 50 μm. At TB ≤ 250 °C the typical extrusion fiber texture is found, at TB ≥ 300 °C a double fiber texture is formed due to static recrystallization. The results of the quasistatic mechanical tests are due to these differences in the microstructure.
