Recrystallization and Recovery Temperatures of Magnesium Alloys during Deformation Using Pressure Machine and Hammer
Magnesium alloys are increasingly used in aerospace industry due to their low density and mechanical properties. When subjected to plastic deformation, some grains are moved and the crystalline structure of the material changes. The process of recrystallization and recovery are important to understand the changes in the material’s microstructure in response to plastic deformation. The aim of this study was to investigate the recrystallization and recovery temperatures of magnesium alloys when subjected to plastic deformation by pressure machine and hammer.
The material used in this study was a commercially pure magnesium alloy. Samples of 0.5cm in length, 0.5 cm in width and 0.05 cm in thickness were prepared for the experiment. The samples were subjected to various levels of plastic deformation using both pressure machine and hammer. An optical microscope was then used to observe the microstructure of the material before and after plastic deformation. The recrystallization and recovery temperatures were then determined by calculating the difference between the temperature at which recrystallization was observed and the temperature at which recovery was observed.
The results showed that there was a significant difference in the recrystallization temperature of the materials when subjected to different levels of plastic deformation using both pressure machine and hammer. It was also observed that the recrystallization temperature of the samples increased when the applied plastic deformation increased. Similarly, when samples were subjected to different levels of plastic deformation, the recovery temperature was also different. In general, the recovery temperature of the material decreased when the applied plastic deformation increased.
The findings of this study conclude that the recrystallization temperature and the recovery temperature of magnesium alloys can be varied depending on the level of plastic deformation applied. This knowledge can be used by engineers and materials scientists to investigate the effects of recrystallization and recovery temperature on the mechanical properties of materials. This can ultimately result in designing materials that can better withstand varying levels of mechanical loading and save costs.
In conclusion, the recrystallization and recovery temperatures of magnesium alloys were observed to vary with the level of plastic deformation when the samples were deformed using a pressure machine and hammer. The knowledge gained from this study can be used to design and manufacture materials that can better withstand varying levels of mechanical loading and save costs.
