Plasticity and microstructure of magnesium - lithium alloys

摘要

The article presents the results of tests connected with influence of strain parameters on the susceptibility to hot working of magnesium lithium alloys with lithium content of 7.5% mass. Plasticity tests were conducted in compression test from room temperature up to 400°C with strain rate of 0.1 s~(-1). Conducted tests allowed for determination of susceptibility of magnesium alloys with different lithium content to hot working. The results were compared with typical alloy AZ31. The results of influence of deformation temperature on the microstructure of tested alloys are also presented in this paper.
