High Plasticity Magnesium Alloys [EPUB ebook] 

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. Presents in-depth theory and research methods on high-plasticity magnesium alloys Considers the microstructure, mechanical properties and processing methods of high-performance magnesium alloys Shows the first principles needed to calculate the effects of various alloying elements Introduces the development of magnesium alloys with relatively high plasticity Characterizes the plasticity of polycrystalline metallic materials Provides detailed solutions for industrial engineers who need to use high-performance magnesium alloys
