Abstract

This study investigates the simultaneous effects of addition of different amount strontium and also parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) method on as-cast AZ31 magnesium alloy. It was seen that adding Sr caused a significant grain refinement in which the mean grain sizes of the PTCAP-processed tubes were refined to ~ 7 μm and ~ 4.5 μm, respectively, after adding 0.7 wt.% and 1.5 wt.% Sr to AZ31 from its initial value which was 520 μm. Moreover, the precipitates fraction was calculated for 3 specimens containing 0 wt.%, 0.7 wt.%, and 1.5 wt.% of Sr. and the highest value was attained for the 1-pass processed specimen with 0.7 wt.% Sr content, which might be responsible for its high ultimate shear strength value compared to other specimens. Texture analysis showed that, by adding more Sr, the texture intensity slightly decreased, correspondingly the {0002} pole figures showed symmetry in texture components. To evaluate mechanical properties variations, the shear-punch test was accomplished. The highest values of (185 MPa) and deformation (31.6%) arose for the 1-pass- processed sample containing 0.7 wt.% Sr. Finally, the corrosion analysis showed that the corrosion rate of the 1-pass PTCAP specimen containing 0.7 wt.% Sr was promising for use in required corrosion-resistant applications.
