Abstract
Superplastic mechanical properties of the AZ31 and AZ31-1.0Y-1.3Sr magnesium alloy sheets produced by twin-roll casting and sequential hot rolling (TRC) were investigated. The AZ31-1.0Y-1.3Sr alloy sheets with the thickness of 1 mm were prepared by twin-roll casting process, which exhibited finer equiaxed grain structure. Uniaxial tensile testing and gas blow forming on AZ31 and AZ31-1.0Y-1.3Sr magnesium alloy sheets were carried out. Results show that the superplastic mechanical properties of AZ31-1.0Y-1.3Sr alloys are better than those of AZ31 alloys at 400 °C and the strain rate of 7 × 10−4/s. The addition of Y and Sr elements is helpful to improve the formability of AZ31 alloy. Grain boundary sliding plays a dominant role in superplastic forming.
