| Abstract Scope |
The use of wrought magnesium alloys is limited due to their poor formability at room temperature (RT). Recent research has shown that the RT formability of magnesium alloys can be improved via fine grain structure and random texture. This talk provides an example is designing a magnesium sheet alloy for RT forming based on CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) modeling and the critical understanding of alloying-processing-microstructure relationship using machine learning (ML) algorithms. The new sheet alloy offers excellent ductility (31% tensile elongation) and RT formability (7.8 mm Erichsen Index) at solution-treated condition (T4), and a high yield strength (270 MPa) upon post-forming aging treatment (T6). This sheet alloy is promising for room-temperature forming of magnesium sheet for industrial applications. |
