Abstract
It has been established that additions of Ca and Zn to magnesium can yield wrought materials with a weak crystallographic texture that is desirable for formability. This study explores how Zn and Ca additions affect the static recrystallization kinetics and mechanisms in magnesium alloys compressed using a Gleeble thermomechanical processing simulator. The effect of these alloying additions on the texture evolution and grain growth kinetics during post-deformation annealing will be discussed.
