Static Recrystallization Kinetics and Texture Evolution in Wrought Mg–Zn–Ca Alloys

It has been established that additions of Ca and Zn to magnesiumMagnesium can yield wrought materials with a weak crystallographic texture that is desirable for formability. This study explores how Zn and Ca additions affect the static recrystallizationRecrystallization kinetics and mechanisms in magnesium alloysMagnesium alloy compressed using a Gleeble thermomechanical processingThermomechanical processing simulator. The effect of these alloying additions on the texture evolution and grain growth kinetics during post-deformation annealing will be discussed.
