Warm forming limits of rare earth-magnesium alloy ZEK100 sheet
Abstract
Forming limit curves were developed for a rare earth-magnesium alloy, ZEK100-F, at temperatures between 25 and 350 °C in both the rolling (RD) and transverse directions (TD) of the sheet. ZEK100-F contains additions of zirconium (Zr) as a grain refining alloying element and a rare earth addition, neodymium (Nd), that promotes a weakened basal texture allowing enhanced slip activity at lower temperatures. Warm formability measurements were also …
