Abstract

Magnesium alloy thin-walled cylindrical components with the advantages of high specific stiffness and strength present broad prospect for the lightweight of aerospace components. However, poor formability resulting from the hexagonal close-packed crystal structure in magnesium alloy puts forwards a great challenge for thin-walled cylindrical components fabrication, especially for extreme structure with the thickness-changing web and the high thin-wall. In this research, an ZK61 magnesium alloy thin-walled cylindrical component was successfully fabricated by two-step forging, i.e., the pre-forging and final-forging is mainly used for wed and thin-wall formation, respectively. Microstructure and mechanical properties at the core, middle and margin of the web and the thin-wall of the pre-forged and final-forged components are studied in detail. Due to the large strain-effectiveness and metal flow along the radial direction (RD), the grains of the web are all elongated along RD for the pre-forged component, where an increasingly elongated trend is found from the core to the margin of the wed. A relatively low recrystallized degree occurs during pre-forging, and the web at different positions are all with prismatic and pyramid textures. During final-forging, the microstructures of the web and the thin-wall are almost equiaxed due to the remarkable occurrence of dynamic recrystallization. Similarity, except for few basal texture of the thin-wall, only prismatic and pyramid textures are found for the final-forged component. Compared with the initial billet, an obviously improved mechanical isotropy is achieved during pre-forging, which is well-maintained during final-forging.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Magnesium and Alloys serves as a global platform for both theoretical and experimental studies in magnesium science and engineering. It welcomes submissions investigating various scientific and engineering factors impacting the metallurgy, processing, microstructure, properties, and applications of magnesium and alloys. The journal covers all aspects of magnesium and alloy research, including raw materials, alloy casting, extrusion and deformation, corrosion and surface treatment, joining and machining, simulation and modeling, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties, new alloy development, magnesium-based composites, bio-materials and energy materials, applications, and recycling.
