This work is to study the influence of heat treatment on microstrudture and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy prepared by solid -state recycling. AZ31B magnesium alloy chips were recycled by hot extruding. Three different heat treatments were conducted for recycled alloy. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the recycled specimen and heat treated specimen were investigated. 300°C×2h annealing specimen exhibits finer grain due to static recrystallization, and microstructure of 400°C×2h annealing specimen becomes more coarse. 300°C×2h annealing treatment improves obviously strength and ductility of recycled alloy. Ultimate tensile strength of alloy decreases and elongation to failure increases after 400°C×2h annealing. Grain size, dislocation density and bonding of chips have an effect on the elongation of recycled materials. 190°C×8h ageing has no influence on microstructure and mechanical properties of recycled alloy.

The formability of the magnesium alloy sheets is poor at room temperature even though the magnesium alloy sheets are attractive because of their excellent characteristics. Application of pulsating hydroforming is a new and effective method to improve the formability. The effects of the pressure amplitude on the maximum bulging height and minimum wall thickness of the formed parts of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets are examined using finite element simulations. It is shown that the distribution of maximum bugling height and minimum wall thickness is similar for different pressure amplitude A, and a uniform expansion in bulging region is obtained, the cause of the uniform expansion obtained may be caused by the variation of stress components. The AZ31B sheet has an excellent performance in formability when the pressure amplitude and pulsating frequency are properly selected.

ABSTRACTForging in the α2+γ-phase field results in grain refined zones by dynamic recrystallization, but still coarse γ-grains and a residual amount of α2/γ-lamellae are observed. During subsequent heat treatment in the α+γ-phase field the recrystallization leads to inhomogeneous distributions of α2-Ti3Al and grain sizes of γ-TiAl. Due to these inhomogeneities a significant increase of the room temperature ductility is not found.

Tensile tests and a cold deep drawing process were developed at room temperature to estimate the stamping formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet. The results show that AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet has poor formability at room temperature with the total elongation of ~ 20%, the yield ratio is about 0.6 and the strain-hardening exponent is 0.18, while the plastic strain ratio is 1.58, and the earing ratio is-0.55.Thus, AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet can not suffer server plastic deformation. It was found that comparatively shallow magnesium alloy cups were satisfactorily formed at room temperature without heating when the punch fillet radius 6mm and the die fillet radius10mm with a 1mm thickness sheet with limit drawing ratio of 1.25.

Aluminium powder was milled under vacuum and/or ammonia atmospheres, in order to evaluate the effect of the order of the atmospheres on the amount of nitrides appearing in the powder after a subsequent heat treatment. All milling experiences were carried out at room temperature for 5 h. The XRD study of sintered powders showed that important amounts of AlN appeared after heating. The use of vacuum and ammonia flow allows controlling the percentage of N rich phases formed. Moreover, the capacity of incorporating nitrogen to the aluminium lattice is very influenced by the vacuum and ammonia flow atmospheres order during the milling process.

Uni-axial tensile test was conducted at room temperature on a weak texture AZ31B magnesium alloy at different strain rate, from 2.8×10-5s-1 to 1.1×10-1s-1. The mechanical behavior was investigated. It was found that as strain rate is increased, flat character of the stress-strain curves can be found and {10-12} tension twinning is responsible for this phenomenon. The sample exhibites a brittle fracture at 1.1×10-1s-1 strain rate while exhibites a ductile fracture character at 2.8×10-5s-1 strain rate.

The formability of the magnesium alloy sheets is poor at room temperature even though the magnesium alloy sheets are attractive because of their excellent characteristics. Hydro-forming technology, especially the pulsating hydro-forming, may be a way to improve the formability. Finite element simulations have been conducted to investigate the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet in hydro-bugling by pulsating hydraulic pressure. The influence of linear pressure, pulsating pressure and pulsating frequency on the maximum bulging height and minimum wall thickness of the formed parts have been analyzed. The research results show that the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet can be improved dramatically by pulsating hydro-forming. And enough bugling height can be obtained by lesser forming hydraulic pressure. The AZ31B sheet has an excellent performance in formability when the pulsating frequency is properly selected.

The grain size and the distribution of crystal orientation have an important effect on the mechanical properties of wrought AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets. Because the AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets rolled by conventional rolling have a poor formability at room temperature, a new rolling technology of differential speed rolling is used to improve the mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy. The research shows that the number of twinning crystal decreases, the number of the core of dynamically recrystallized grain increases, and the grain size become fine and isotropy by differential speed rolling with the increase of the reduction and the improving of the rolling temperature to some extent. The differential speed rolling not only improves the isotropy of the basal texture and also improves the microstructure and mechanical properties.
