Microstructure modification and bendability improvement of AZ31 magnesium sheet by bending–unbending and annealing process
Abstract
AZ31 magnesium sheet was processed by room temperature multi-step cyclic bending–unbending (CBU) and subsequent annealing (CBUA) process to modify the microstructure and improve its bendability. The CBU process resulted in a complex stress and strain distribution through the thickness and a multi-layered microstructure after annealing. The grain structure, micro-texture, and micro-hardness of each of the layers were studied by optical …
