Abstract


AZ91D magnesium alloy rolled under four rolling conditions, namely cold rolling, electric pulse cold rolling, hot rolling and electric pulse hot rolling, and the first principles calculation of Mg with or without external electric field carried out. The results show that: The application of pulse current in the rolling process of AZ91D magnesium alloy can effectively improve the edge crack of the sample, optimize the texture of AZ91D magnesium alloy and reduce its texture strength, promote the generation of tensile twins and the transition from small Angle grain boundaries to large Angle grain boundaries, and thus improve the plastic forming ability of AZ91D magnesium alloy. Make it more prone to plastic deformation. Compared with ordinary rolling, the microhardness of α-Mg matrix decreases by 15%. The tensile strength and elongation increased from 137MPa and 3.4% to 169MPa and 4.7%, respectively. The results show that the stiffness of Mg decreases and the Poisson's ratio of Mg increases when the electric field applies. When the B/G value is greater than 1.75, the plasticity of Mg is improved. The fault energy at the base surface of Mg does not change much, while the fault energy at the prismatic surface of Mg decreases obviously, showing the external electric field mainly affects the prismatic surface slip of Mg, which makes the prismatic surface slip easier to start, and thus improves the plastic forming ability of Mg.
