Hybrid Strengthening Effect Induced by Dual Deformation in Weakened-Texture Mg Alloy
摘要
In this study, the Mg-5Al-1Zn-3La-1Gd alloy with grain size of 5.18 μm was fabricated using a dual deformation approach involving extrusion followed by rolling (E + R). The slip modes, dislocation characteristics, and mechanical properties were investigated. The results demonstrate that the activation of < c + a > slip is successfully achieved alongside the weakening of basal texture, both of which are linked to grain boundary segregation. Following E + R processing, the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increase by approximately 170 and 57 MPa, respectively. The overall strengthening arises from a combination of grain refinement, dislocation strengthening, and precipitation strengthening. Moreover, the presence of numerous short < c + a > dislocations in the E + R alloy enhances deformation capability.
