在室温条件下,对AZ31镁合金挤压棒材进行循环扭转变形,测试了扭转变形过程的力学性能以及变形后的微观组织和织构特征,并对扭转变形对镁合金棒材的力学性能影响进行了分析。结果表明:镁合金棒材在循环扭转过程中得到了严格对称的应力-应变滞回线,并且随着循环周期的增加,由于加工硬化和内部微裂纹扩展的共同影响,应力-应变滞回线上的应力峰值呈现先增加后减小的特征。在最大扭转角分别为60°和90°条件下,应力峰值出现在第四周期。镁合金棒材扭转变形后的晶粒中出现大量的拉伸孪晶带,孪晶启动使晶粒的 C 轴转向棒材轴线方向。镁合金棒材扭转变形后的力学性能测试结果显示,循环扭转变形明显提高了镁合金棒材压缩变形的屈服强度,其值由扭转前的约100MPa最大提高至约200MPa。
Deformation and texture evolution of AZ31 B magnesium（Mg） alloy sheet under uniaxial tension, compression, and reverse loading after different pre-strain（compression and tension） were investigated experimentally. The results indicate that the pre-compressive strain remarkably affects the reverse tensile yield stress and the width of the detwinning-dominant stage during inverse tension process. Similar to stress–strain curve of the uniaxial compression, the curve of reverse tensile yield value also has ‘S＇ shape, and its minimum value is only 38 MPa. The relationship between pre-compressive strain and the width of detwinning-dominant stage presents a linear growth, and the greater the precompressive strain is, the smaller the strain hardening rate of the detwinning-slip-dominant stage is. Compared with the reverse tension under pre-compression, the influence of the pre-tension deformation on the deformation mechanism of subsequent compression is relatively simple. With the increase in pre-tension strain, the yield stress of the reverse loading is rising.
Twinning and detwinning are the important deformation modes in magnesium alloys during cyclic loading at room temperature. To analyze these two deformation mechanism, cyclic compression–tension experiments were performed on Mg–3Al–1Zn rolled sheet along the rolling direction. In these tests, the microstructure evolutions of a series of grains during deformation were traced by using quasi in situ electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD). Important quantities like the Schmid factors of twinning system, the fraction of twinning during compression, and the fraction of twinning after reverse loading were calculated on the basis of measured quantities. The influence of Schmid factor of twinning variants on detwinning upon reverse loading was analyzed. Detwinning would prefer to proceed during reverse loading if the Schmid factor of twinning in the twinning area before reverse loading is sufficiently large.
