Abstract
The grain size of as-extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy was refined by isothermal annealing pretreatment through orthogonal experiment. By using the Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator, the compression superplasticity of as-extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy was studied. The high strain rate superplastic compression was realized. The process parameters of the superplastic compression were established and the mechanism of the superplastic deformation was analyzed. The effects of deformation temperature and strain rate on the superplastic flow were investigated. The results indicated that at 250°C–300°C and strain rate at 1×10-2 s -1, the true strain values were all more than 2.03. As the temperature was 300°C and the strain rate was 1×10-2 s -1–1×10 s -1, the true strain values were all more than 2.18. The results showed that the as-extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy being refined presented good compression superplasticity. The main mechanism for the superplastic compressive deformation of the as-extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy was grain-boundary sliding, meanwhile, dynamic recrystallization also played a harmonious role during the superplastic deformation.
