Formability Enhancement in Hot Extruded Magnesium Alloys
Abstract
The effects of cerium (Ce), aluminum (Al) and manganese (Mn) additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of hot extruded magnesium alloys have been investigated. Seven different compositions of Mg alloys — Pure Mg, Mg-0.2Ce, Mg-0.5Ce, AM30, AM50, Mg-3Al-0.2Ce and Mg-5Al-0.2Ce were hot extruded under optimized process conditions. Minor addition of Ce to Mg was found to enhance its ductility from <10% to >30% and 3 – 5% Al addition resulted …
