Abstract
A magnesium alloy, Mg-8Al-0.5Zn-0.2Ag-0.2Mn (AQ80), was extruded by forward extrusion and twist deformation (FETD) at 370°C with 0% and 6% pre-compression. The effect of pre-compression on microstructure and texture of the AQ80 Mg alloy during FETD was systematically investigated. Compared with the 0% pre-compression FETD-ed sample, the 6% pre-compression FETD-ed sample shows a more uniform and finer microstructure and a weaker texture. The effects of pre-twinning on the microstructure and texture during FETD were also investigated. It was found that many {10–12} tension twins were implanted into the as-cast AQ80 Mg alloy by the 6% pre-compression treatment, providing sufficient nucleation sites for subsequent dynamic recrystallization. Combined with microstructure evolution analysis, it can be concluded that the texture development is strongly influenced by the twinning and basal slip during FETD extrusion.
