Effect of Annealing on Microstructure, Texture and Tensile Properties of Twin-Roll Cast AZ31B

  • Chapter
Magnesium Technology 2014

Abstract

Twin-roll cast (TRC) AZ31 alloy (Mg-3wt.%Al-1wt.%Zn) was subjected to heat treatment at 420 °C. As a result, the intensity of the original basal texture was reduced considerably. Crystallographic orientation analysis revealed that such a change in the texture is due to particle-stimulated nucleation of new grains with random orientations. The tensile test results indicate that annealing slightly increases ultimate tensile strength (UTS), however, dramatically improves the elongation.
