Abstract

The influence of forming temperature and strain rate on the microstructure and plastic flow characteristics of AZ31 and ZK60 wrought Mg alloys were determined, in order to enable engineers to design tools and forming processes for these alloys. Both primary (as cast) and recrystallized alloys where examined. AZ31 was found to be sensitive to strain rate in the high temperature and strain rate range. Recrystallized ZK60 has excellent workability within the tested temperature range, due to the grain refinement, caused by the presents of Zirconium. The DRV (Dynamic Recovery) and DRX (Dynamic recrystallization) were found to be dominating the plastic deformation behavior of the wrought Mg alloys in elevated temperature range.
