| Abstract Scope |
It is well known that the strong basal texture that is commonly produced in magnesium alloy sheets leads to poor formability at room temperature. A sizable body of work has explored how changing the alloy composition and rolling conditions can yield more desirable textures. However important thermomechanical variables, such as the feed rate during rolling, are often not included in the literature, making it difficult to correlate how changes in processing affect the final crystallographic texture. This work explores the texture evolution and recrystallization behavior in Mg-Zn-Ca alloys during plane strain compression using a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. This instrument allows for precise control and capture of the thermomechanical history of the sample. The texture and grain morphology of the compressed samples was then studied using Electron Backscatter Diffraction. The texture results are used to identify which alloys and processing conditions should be scaled up for future rolling studies. |
