Abstract
Background: The primary hot rolling method implemented is differential speed rolling (DSR). The material is rolled and grains are strained, producing fine dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grains that improve material strength and ductility. Objective: The material introduced and under investigation in this paper is an Mg-based alloy, Mg5Zn (wt. %), whose microstructure is enhanced through a combination of heat treatments with proper temperature and holding time and subsequent plastic deformation through hot rolling to evaluate the effect on mechanical properties Methods: The method involves preheating the material to various temperatures in a range from 250ºC to 350ºC and rolling to various thickness reductions to analyze the effect of single-pass differential speed rolling (DSR) and conventional rolling (CR) on the DRX process and its influence on mechanical properties. Results: The effect of single-pass differential speed rolling (DSR) and conventional rolling (CR) on the DRX process shows that the process produces increasing amounts of finer DRX grains at higher rolling reductions, thereby improving the strength and ductility of the material. Conclusion: This investigation demonstrated that single-pass DSR can improve the mechanical properties and formability of Mg5Zn more effectively than CR in terms of grain refinement analyzed through OM, SEM, and EBSD resulting in enhanced tensile strength and ductility [1].
