This research investigation aims to develop the understanding necessary to overcome the obstacles in the deformation & forming characteristics of wrought magnesium alloys. This has become of primary important during hot rolling where several deformation related problems such as the limited strain per pass and the required reduction schedules leading to an increase in the required number of passes to achieve the final thickness. The application of the model should be very useful in the real industrial environment of wrought AZ31 hot rolling processes. The main objective of the project is to...

Technical demands for magnesium alloys are sufficient room, and elevated temperature mechanical properties, as well as corrosion resistance according to desired application. A new class of magnesium alloys based on the Mg-Sn system has been studied with many ternary alloying elements with emphasis on the Mg-Sn-Ca system due to their attractive property profile especially concerning creep resistance. This research work investigates the effect of 3 wt.% Al additions on two selected Mg- Sn-Ca alloys namely the Mg-3Sn-2Ca (TX32) alloy, and the Mg-9Sn-1Ca (TX91)alloy at different temper ...
