Effects of Thermo-Mechanical Processing on Aluminum-Magnesium Alloys Containing High Weight Percentage Magnesium.

Abstract

Cast ingots of three Al-Mg alloys, containing 7% Mg, 15% Mg, and 19% Mg, Were obtained from Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation Center for Technology. Billets were machined from these castings and upset forged at .9% of either the solvus or eutectic temperature, as appropriate, to a true strain of 1.5. These alloys were then evaluated by compressive stress-strain testing at various temperatures and strain rates to determine both the ambient and elevated temperature characteristics.
