摘要

Analysis of the recently proposed equal channel angular bending (ECAB) process is provided on thin hotrolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets.In particular,effects of deformation temperature and strain path on the texture evolution and mechanical properties are systematically investigated under single pass ECAB at various temperatures and multi-pass ECAB process that involves changes in strain paths.It is found that simultaneous activation of multiple twinning types is successfully introduced during ECAB,which results in obvious tilted component of basal texture.Attributed to the domination of extension twins,weaker basal textures are detected after both single pass ECAB at 150 ℃ and three cross passes ECAB at 200 ℃.After annealing,the basal texture is further weakened via twin-related recrystallization and the annealed microstructure is featured with mixture of basal and non-basal orientated grains.Additionally,the effect of grain orientation on the mode of plastic deformation and the roles of grain orientation and grain boundary on the local strain accommodation are coherently studied.This study reveals that over 60 ％ increase of uniform elongation with marginal reduction of tensile strength less than 5 ％ can be achieved for single pass ECAB at 150 ℃ and three cross passes ECAB at 200 ℃,which is the result of larger fraction of grains favored with extension twinning and better local strain accommodation.
