Abstract

Effects of texture on micromechanics, texture evolution and macromechanics of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets with tailored textures during plastic deformation are thoroughly investigated by visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) analysis. These simulated results confirm that as for in-plane tension (IPT), activities of basal < a > slip and \(\{ 10\overline{1}2\}\) extension twin (ET) are mainly responsible for the observed texture characteristics of all deformed samples. In addition, activities of prismatic < a > slip and \(\{ 10\overline{1}2\}\) ET in samples with bimodal texture are highly related to the loading direction. With regard to in-plane shear (IPS), sample with weak basal texture possesses the largest activity of prismatic < a > slip. Moreover, basal < a > slip and prismatic < a > slip collectively contribute to the rotation of tilted basal poles in (0002) pole figure, whereas pyramidal < c + a > slip and \(\{ 10\overline{1}2\}\) ET are advantageous to the rotation of tilted basal poles away from normal direction (ND) with increasing plastic strain. In terms of plane strain compression (PSC), \(\{ 10\overline{1}2\}\) ET and prismatic < a > slip largely participate in plastic deformation of samples with four-peak texture and annular (ring-shaped) texture, namely, \(\{ 10\overline{1}2\}\) ET leads to the rotation of tilted basal poles toward ND during PSC and prismatic < a > slip causes the formation of a small annular texture component after a relatively large plastic strain.
