Effects of recrystallization on texture, microstructure and mechanical properties in HPT-deformed pure Mg

Mg of purity 99.8 wt% was deformed by High Pressure-Torsion at hydrostatic pressures 1 to 4 GPa and RT, up to plastic shear strains of 120. X-ray texture analysis showed up deviations from expected shear texture, which increased with increasing shear strain and hydrostatic pressure. According to TEM...

Description
Summary:Mg of purity 99.8 wt% was deformed by High Pressure-Torsion at hydrostatic pressures 1 to 4 GPa and RT, up to plastic shear strains of 120. X-ray texture analysis showed up deviations from expected shear texture, which increased with increasing shear strain and hydrostatic pressure. According to TEM and SEM investigations these deviations can be understood in terms of recrystallization. The current paper aimed at the differences of the recrystallization processes which occur during HPT deformation and unloading (dynamic recrystallization, DRX), and those after deformation (static recrystallization, SRX). For this purpose, two sorts of samples were investigated: (i) such being stored at RT immediately after HPT deformation, and (ii) such being stored at 77 K immediately after HPT deformation, and stored at RT for a minimum and constant time needed for preparation. The results show that SRX brings the texture closer to the ideal shear texture and to higher strength values, but to smaller ductilities than DRX does. The mechanical properties can be attributed to changes of texture rather than to those of grain size.
