It was also concluded that high strain rate in cold dynamic extrusion is an effective method for preparing pre-twinning magnesium alloy with good mechanical properties.

Summary: Dynamic extrusion is a promising method to improve both strength and ductility in magnesium alloys by introducing high-density extension twins and dislocation structures. Annealing after dynamic extrusion enhances strain hardening and strength, with high-density twins promoting more dislocation nucleation and offering additional slip systems for improved ductility. This study suggests that increasing twin density through dynamic extrusion can enhance the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys efficiently.

Summary: Hot rolling deformation was performed to improve the microstructure compactness and mechanical properties of powder metallurgy (P/M) AZ31 magnesium alloy. The results showed that the rolling reduction had a significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy. With an increase in rolling reduction, the shape of prior particles changed, the grain size decreased, and preferred orientation distribution developed. The relative density, ultimate tensile strength, and Vickers hardness increased, while the elongation decreased. A strong basal texture was formed in the alloy after hot rolling.

Summary: In this study, a plastic deformation process was conducted to bond AZ31 magnesium alloy, involving hot compression at 350 degrees C and heat treatment at 400 degrees C. Microstructural analysis revealed that the optimal holding time for heat treatment was 8 hours, resulting in an interfacial bonding strength of 164.7 MPa. The quality of bonding was found to be influenced by the migration of interfacial grain boundaries, development of recrystallized grains, and evolution of interfacial oxides.

Summary: A new process called expansion-shear extrusion (ESE) has been proposed for producing AZ31 Mg alloy sheets. The effect of expansion sphere diameter on the deformation behavior of the alloy was analyzed using the finite element method and electron backscatter diffraction. The results showed that increasing the diameter of the expansion ball led to an increase in the dead zone range. At a diameter of 30 mm, the parameters for strain inhomogeneity and flow velocity non-uniformity were low. Moreover, the ESE deformation process resulted in a refinement of the average grain size of the alloy.

Summary: This article proposes a new severe plastic technique called Multi-angular twist channel extrusion (MATE) for processing AA2024 aluminium alloy. The MATE method can impose a large strain in a single pass with better strain homogeneity and lower punch load. The study shows that an average effective strain of 2.78 was achieved with good strain homogeneity, and the tensile strength and hardness of the alloy were significantly increased. The MATE process also led to grain refinement, strain hardening, the development of a strong texture, and a high dislocation density in the extruded metal.

Summary: The relationship between the activities of different deformation mechanisms and the evolution of microstructure and texture in the uniaxial tension of AZ31 magnesium alloy with a rare non-basal texture was investigated using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) measurement and visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) modeling. The results showed that both basal and prismatic slip, as well as extension twin, played significant roles in plastic deformation. The activity of the extension twin decreased with the increasing angle between the loading and rolling directions, and its role shifted from sustaining plastic strain to accommodating local strain between grains. The different roles of the extension twin resulted in the formation of different texture components. The competition between basal and pyramidal slip was responsible for the concentration of tilted basal poles towards the normal direction. VPSC modeling overestimated the volume fractions of the extension twin, and the predicted results were smaller when compatible deformation between grains was not considered.

Summary: This study proposes a new variable circular channel angular extrusion (VCCAE) process for manufacturing magnesium alloy plates with rib-web structure. The feasibility and accuracy of the process are validated through numerical simulations and experiments. The results show that stress and strain distribution in the longitudinal section is highly inhomogeneous, with significant stress concentration at the shear plane. The microstructure in the angular region is more uniform and finer, indicating that severe shear deformation induced by the angular channel promotes deformation uniformity and grain refinement.

Summary: We investigated the microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion properties of an AZ61 alloy extruded using the KoBo method. The KoBo method enables extrusion of AZ61 without preheating and results in significant microstructure refinement. However, this study found that it did not enhance the strength or corrosion resistance of the AZ61 alloy. The continuously precipitated Mg17Al12 phase along the grain boundaries was identified as the main factor affecting the alloy's properties.

Summary: Multi-pass cold rolling experiments were conducted on AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets with unusual double-peak texture, and it was found that this texture significantly improved the accumulated reduction, reaching 39.2%. The microstructure and texture evolution in the sheet with the unusual double-peak texture were different from those in the sheet with strong basal texture. Schmid factor analysis revealed that the sheet with the unusual double-peak texture had higher values for basal slip and extension twinning, leading to enhanced cold rolling formability.
