The chemical composition of Mg alloy wires plays a critical role in determining mechanical properties of WAAM Mg alloys.

Therefore, in the present work, a novel ATZM31 Mg alloy wire has been prepared and applied to the cold metal transfer (CMT)-WAAM process. This study focuses on understanding the forming quality, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of the ATZM31 alloy thin-wall component fabricated by WAAM.

The area fraction of the η-Al<sub>8</sub>Mn<sub>5</sub> phase is estimated to be ∼0.21% based on the statistical analysis of SEM images.

From the substrate to the top of the ATZM31 alloy thin-wall component, the hardness decreases gradually. The ultimate tensile strength along the deposition direction and build direction are ∼225 MPa and ∼214 MPa, respectively, without pronounced anisotropy.

The results show that the rolled Mg/Al composite plate exhibits obvious anisotropy and poor formability in the rolling directions (RD) and transverse directions (TD), which is the result of the synergistic effect of matrix texture and grain characteristics. Annealing-activated recrystallization can eliminate local shear bands, hardening and other defects formed by rolling, thereby softening the structure and improving the formability of the sheet. The occurrence of recrystallization behavior also makes the bimodal texture parallel to the TD distribution in the Mg matrix transform into the RD-TD surface dispersion distribution, which weakens the strong deformation texture. The Schmidt factor (SF) of each slip system is calculated to evaluate the slip system start-up probability (deformation difficulty) of the material in a certain direction. The results show that the average SF values of matrix slip in RD and TD directions increase after annealing treatment, which makes the slip system easier to start. The tensile test results show that the formability of the composite plate is the best when the annealing temperature is 300 °C. At this time, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) are small, the elongation (EL) is large and the anisotropy of mechanical properties is the weakest. In addition, the annealing of the composite plate leads to the transformation of the fracture mechanism from brittle fracture to ductile-brittle mixed fracture.

Herein, we report an effective strategy for simultaneously enhancing yield strength (205 MPa, 2.41 times) and elongation (23%, 1.54 times) in a Mg-0.2Zn-0.6Y (at.%) alloy at room temperature, based on the formation of a nanosized quasi-long period stacking order unit (QLPSO)-twin structure by ultrahigh-pressure treatment followed by annealing. The formation reason and strong-ductile mechanism of the unique QLPSO-twin structure have been clarified by transmission electron microscopy observations and molecule dynamics simulations.
