Thermo-mechanical Modeling of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy during Hot Rolling

This research investigation aims to develop the
understanding necessary to overcome
the obstacles in the deformation & forming
characteristics of wrought magnesium alloys.
This has become of primary important during hot
rolling where several deformation related
problems such as the limited strain per pass and the
required reduction schedules
leading to an increase in the required number of
passes to achieve the final thickness.
The application of the model should be very useful in
the real industrial environment of
wrought AZ31 hot rolling processes. The main
objective of the project is to provide
industrially relevant advises to the manufacturers to
optimize their process parameters
and increase their wrought alloys use in sheet
products, automotive structural components
and other structural applications.
