Synopsis

High Plasticity Magnesium Alloys focuses on the microstructure, mechanical properties and processing methods of magnesium alloy materials. The title offers theory and methods on high-plasticity magnesium alloys, including phase diagram construction, alloying and deformation. Four typical high-plasticity magnesium alloys are discussed through thermodynamic phase diagram construction and the characterization of their microstructure, mechanical properties and texture at as-cast, extruded, rolled and heat-treated states. Chapters update principle calculations for the effects of alloying elements, Mg-Gd-Zr medium strength and high-plasticity alloys, medium strength and high-plasticity Mg-Mn based alloys, medium strength and high-plasticity Mc-Sn based alloys, and Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Mn high-strength and high-plasticity magnesium alloys.

This book presents the plasticity of magnesium alloys, and guides the design and development of new high-strength and high-plasticity magnesium alloys. It provides detailed solutions for practicing industrial engineers.

From the Back Cover

High-plasticity magnesium alloy materials can help achieve weight reduction in industrial components, including in automobiles, 3C products, military technologies, and aerospace. Weight reduction can be achieved through using plastic forming processes to prepare magnesium alloys. However, magnesium alloys also present challenges. For example, they have only three slip systems, due to their HCP lattice structure, resulting in poor plastic deformation capacity, long processing times and high production costs. New alloy melting and deformation processing technology offers novel ways to develop high-plasticity magnesium alloy materials. High Plasticity Magnesium Alloys focuses on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and processing methods of magnesium alloy materials. The title offers theory and methods on high-plasticity magnesium alloys, including phase diagram construction, alloying and deformation. Four typical high-plasticity magnesium alloys are discussed through thermodynamic phase diagram construction and the characterization of their microstructure, mechanical properties and texture at as-cast, extruded, rolled and heat-treated states. Six chapters present an overview of high-plasticity magnesium alloys; first principle calculations for the effects of alloying elements; Mg-Gd-Zr medium strength and high-plasticity alloy; medium strength and high-plasticity Mg-Mn based alloys; medium strength and high-plasticity Mc-Sn based alloys; and Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Mn high-strength and high-plasticity magnesium alloys. This book presents the plasticity of magnesium alloys, and guides the design and development of new high-strength and high-plasticity magnesium alloys. It provides detailed solutions for practicing industrial engineers.
