| Abstract Scope |
Lightweight components improve the fuel efficiency in internal combustion vehicles and compensate for the battery weight and extend the drive range in electrified vehicles. Many Mg alloys have been developed over the years to meet these demands, however, low formability at room temperature, corrosion, and high cost have inhibited widespread adoption in the automotive industry. The new alloy Mg-1Zn-1Al-0.5Ca-0.2Ce-0.4Mn (ZAXEM 11100, all in weight %) has shown excellent post-rolling formability with an Ericksen Index of 7.8 mm and a post-T6 yield stress of 270 MPa in lab-scale sheet samples of 1mm thickness. In this work, a processing map has been developed for the new alloy, based on Gleeble thermomechanical test. This processing map provided important guidance to a production-scale extrusion. This work details the mechanical performance of ZAXEM11100 as an extrusion alloy. |
