| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium and its alloys have seen an increase in research interest due to its lightweight properties and potential for transportation applications. However, its hexagonal close packed structure and strong basal texture result in anisotropy and low temperature formability, which hinders its expansion for further usage. It has been found that alloying with Ca and Zn reduces the strong basal crystallographic texture formed during wrought processing. In this study, the texture evolution of Mg-(Ca,Zn) alloys was investigated during recrystallization at temperatures ranging from 200°C to 350°C for various times. SEM-EBSD was used to quantify the recrystallization fraction as well as determine preferential nucleation sites throughout the microstructure. In-situ heating was combined with SEM to understand the texture of recrystallized grains from preferential nucleation sites and the influence of crystallographic orientation on grain growth. It was determined that binary alloys develop a strong basal texture during wrought processing that weakens during recrystallization. |
