Microstructure Evolution during Roller Hemming of AZ31B Magnesium Sheet
Abstract
The differences in the microstructure evolution during laser-roller hemming and conventional roller hemming (done at room temperature) of commercial-grade AZ31B sheet were studied using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). It was observed that the flanging operation, done as a precursor to roller hemming, produced a heterogeneous grain structure that remained throughout the subsequent hemming steps. Laser heating, applied during the roller …
