Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Special features of deformation at elevated temperature and of changes in the microstructure of a typical magnesium alloy AZ31 used for sheet forming are studied in the process of many-stage gas bulging forming with formation of a round cup. The processes of dynamic recrystallization, slip over grain boundaries, and initiation of pores are considered as the main mechanisms of straining.
