| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium (Mg) sheet alloys have been attractive to the automotive industry for structural and body panel applications. One major challenge for automotive applications of Mg sheet alloys is their limited formability at room temperature. Recently, a new Mg sheet alloy and a multi-stage homogenization process have been developed at OSU, using an integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) approach. The new alloy achieved a yield strength of 240 MPa, tensile elongation of 30% and Erichsen Index of 7.7 mm, promising room-temperature forming applications. This paper will provide an overview of this new alloy design and thermomechanical processing development based on computational thermodynamic and kinetic modeling followed by experimental validation. The paper will also discuss microstructure evolution, strengthening mechanisms and plasticity of this new alloy. |
