Abstract

A twin-roll cast (TRC) AZ31-0.7Ca alloy sheet has been subjected to thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) followed by annealing and its microstructure was evaluated. The as-cast microstructure of TRC AZ31-0.7Ca alloy is essentially similar to that of TRC AZ31 alloy, except for the presence of Al2Ca dispersoid particles. The presence of Al2Ca particles imparts significant changes to the microstructure of TMT-ed TRC alloy such as the refinement of grain size and evolution of textures different from those of ingot cast and TRC AZ31 alloys.
