Analysis of texture and properties of fine-grained thin-walled tubes of Mg-3Al-Zn alloy prepared by hot spinning based on experiments and simulations
摘要
Fine-grained thin-walled cylindrical parts of Mg-3Al-Zn alloy were prepared by ball hot-spinning (BHS) process at 300℃, and the BHS numerical analysis model was established based on finite element method. The effects of different thinning rates on the stress-strain distribution, grain size and texture evolution observed by electron back-scattering diffraction (EBSD) were revealed. The results show that spinning temperature increases with the increase of thinning rate. The wrinkling factors in the stable forming zone are all below 4% during hot spinning, and the spinnability of the alloy is significantly improved compared with normal temperature. With the increase of the thinning rate, under the active DRX and plastic deformation, the precipitated phase of Mg17Al12 tends to distribute discretely with the material flow and DRX process, and the grains begin to aggregate to a smaller size, and the average grain size is only 4.59 μm when the thinning rate is 35%. When the thinning rate is between 15% and 25%, the deviation degree of grain c-axis in TD direction increases, the plasticity and deformation uniformity of materials decrease, the strength of
