Abstract

Pre-twin is widely accepted as an efficient method for weakening the basal texture to improve the plasticity of magnesium alloys, particularly for formability. However, the enhancement is limited since the largest Schmid factor (SF) of basal slip cannot be achieved. In-plane simple shear strain is used to control the twin orientation in accordance with Schmid law to further decrease the basal texture and improve the formability of the Mg alloys sheet. Consequently, secondary regulation of initial twin orientation (SRITO) technology, a novel combination procedure, was developed. In this method, the AZ31 Mg alloys sheet is compressed to pre-twins with various volumes (1%, 3%, and 5%), then the twin orientation is regulated by in-plane simple shear strain for the second time. Compared with the as-received sample, the average fracture elongation of the annealed sample with the best properties improves from 15.3 to 28.8%, and the Erichsen value increases from 2.8 to 6.1 mm due to the regulation of twin orientation.
