Abstract

The texture characteristics and the relationship between texture and tensile properties at room temperature and superplasticity at high temperatures in a hot extruded AZ61 alloy are examined in this paper. After warm extrusion, the alloy exhibits a of refined grains microstructure and a sharp basal {0001} texture. The tensile properties at room and elevated temperatures in extruded with the loading axis oriented at 0°, 45° and 90° to the extrusion direction are tested. It is found that the 45° specimens exhibit has lower yield strength and higher ductility. The possible causes for mechanical anisotropy are also analyzed based on the Schmid factor calculations.
