Abstract
Pure magnesium foil has a great potential for rechargeable magnesium battery anode application, the formation of edge crack and break during Mg sheet rolling highly decreases the yield and thus increase the cost. In this paper, pure magnesium sheets of different thicknesses (0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm) were prepared from 1 mm pure magnesium sheets by on-line heating rolling in a single pass. The edge cracking and breaking behavior of pure magnesium sheets were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electron backscatter diffractometer (EBSD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscope (LSCM). The results show that the number of edge cracks of pure magnesium sheets increases with the increase of rolling reduction. As the rolling reduction increases to 70%, due to the severe edge crack of 0.3 mm thick sheet and the formation of grooves on the magnesium sheet surface, the breaking of pure magnesium sheets occurs. The mechanism of edge cracking and breaking of ultra-thin pure magnesium rolled sheet is discussed.
