Abstract
The flow stresses of AZ41M and ZK 60 wrought magnesium alloys under the deformation conditions of twin rolling casting and hot compression (TRC-HC) at different temperature and strain rates were studied. The deformation behavior and failure mechanism of them were discussed. The microstructure evolutions were analyzed by OM and EBSD technique. The results indicated that AZ41M and ZK 60 have different strain-stress curve under the same conditions. Working hardening results in occurrence of cracks in or around the shear bands. The recrystallized, equiaxed and fined grains in shear bands attribute to recovery and recrystallization, grains refinement causes local working hardening as well as decreases of crack tip driving forces. The stresses concentrate in shear bands causing cracks initiation and propagation. Casting defects to be the nucleus of cracks is another failure mode. With the increases of strains, dislocations rearrange forming sub-grains, the low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) continuously evolved into high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs).
