Abstract

In this study, the variation of workability of semi-continuously casted and extruded ZK60A magnesium alloy was investigated. To determine the deformation capability of two different billets, uniaxial compression tests were conducted at elevated temperatures and two different strain rates. In addition, the microstructural evolution was investigated using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to compare the microstructure before and after the extrusion. The formability of ZK60A depending on the microstructure is discussed based on the experimental results obtained in this study, and is compared with earlier research in the literature.
