Abstract
The microstructure and properties of rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet with the change of normal position were investigated by electronic universal testing machine, ZEISS optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The tensile test results showed that the mechanical properties of sample selected at the depth of 8mm, which is 2/5 of the whole thickness counting from rolling plane are closest to the properties for whole sheet. Microstructure characterization indicated that a large number of tiny grains are distributed around the large grains. The majority of these grains are equiaxed grains, and the few twins could be observeded. The fracture mechanism was ascribed to mixed ductile and brittle fractures.
