Abstract

Materials Science Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering Science & Technology Technology
This study involved edge regions of a friction stir processed (FSP) magnesium alloy (AZ31). Interleaved structures of ultra-fine, of few 100 nm, and coarser grains, several microns, were noted. Very short thermal anneals coarsened the former: generating typical micron-sized FSP grains. A model of microstructural development through grain boundary sliding of the ultra-fine grains was proposed. This model explains weaker texture in such grains and the fact that Mg-FSP shear texture did not change by successive passes. (C) The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International 2015
