Effect of a new upsetting process with large height-to-diameter ratio on the microstructure of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy

Yugang Ye et al.

Summary: A new upsetting process with a large height-to-diameter ratio is proposed to overcome the limitation of the traditional process. The study successfully upset a Mg-9.5Gd-4Y-2.2Zn-0.5Zr alloy bar with a height-to-diameter ratio of 6.5 and investigated its microstructure evolution. Dynamic recrystallization occurred during the process, resulting in significant microstructure refinement, with a maximum recrystallization ratio of 46.3% and an average grain size of 20.2 μm in the center of the billet.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of cup-shaped specimens prepared by rotary backward extrusion

Chao Liu et al.

Summary: Rotary backward extrusion (RBE) was used to prepare large cup-shaped specimens, and the effects of rotary speed on microstructure and properties were analyzed. The results showed that the microstructure became finer from the outer to inner region, and increasing the rotary speed improved deformation uniformity and mechanical properties. Continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) actively contributed to hot deformation. Refinement strengthening was the major mechanism during RBE, and the highest recrystallization reached 93.1%.

Nanocrystallization of the cast AZ31 Mg alloy by low-strain rotary swaging

Xin Chen et al.

Summary: Remarkable grain refinement of AZ31 Mg alloy was achieved by low-strain rotary swaging, with nanograins formed in the central region attributed to high strain rates and constantly changing loading directions. The nanocrystallization process in the central region was dominated by tension twinning and the formation of dislocation arrays, while only twins were formed in the edge region due to a single loading direction towards the center.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of multidirectional forging (MDF) on a low-cost rare earth magnesium alloy, revealing that the Mg-7Gd-2Y-1Zn-0.5Zr alloy shows increased strength and elongation after undergoing extrusion, MDF, and T5 treatment. The alloy strength enhancement is attributed to solid solution strengthening, grain refinement, and aging precipitation mechanisms.
