mm-thick extruded Mg–Al–Zn (AZ80) alloy plates were subjected to friction stir welding at a
welding speed of 100 mm· min− 1 and tool rotation rates of 400–1200 rpm, and the highest …

In this study, a new alloy material Mg-Zn-Zr (ZK60) was designed for the connecting rod. It
was found that the blanks sampled along the vertical direction of an extruded bar crack …

Bobbin tool friction stir welding (BTFSW) technique was applied to a Mg–Zn–Zr alloy ZK60.
The results indicated that the plates were joined successfully with no welding defect forming …

In this paper, a novel method of severe plastic deformation (SPD), ie, forging-bending
repeated deformation process, was proposed to prepare AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets. The …

AZ31 magnesium alloys were hot-extruded at 573 K and 623 K with extrusion ratio (λ) of 20,
35 and 50. The corrosion and mechanical behavior of hot-extruded AZ31 were studied by …

Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) was performed on 4-mm thick plates, machined from
extruded AZ31B-H24 Mg alloy. The microstructure and defects formation were investigated …

High strain rate multiple forging (HSRMF) was successfully carried out on AZ31 magnesium
alloy at a temperature range of 250–400° C, and the microstructure, texture and mechanical …

Three rotation rates were selected for friction stir welded (FSW) rolled AZ31 plates, at a
constant welding speed of 100 mm/minutes. As the rotation rate was increased from 800 and …

The effects of cryogenic treatment prior to hot rolling on the strength, toughness and ductility
of as-cast AZ31 magnesium alloy plates were investigated. The cryogenic treatment …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a new solid-state joining process for joining light metals, such
as magnesium (Mg) alloys. However, the texture-induced softening mechanism (in stir zone …
