An experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of second-phase particles on grain growth during the annealing of hot-rolled AZ61 magnesium alloy

The mechanical properties of a magnesium alloy strongly depend on its grain structure. It is desirable to minimize grain growth during the post-forming annealing treatment, thereby minimizing the loss in strength while regaining ductility. In the present research, the annealing of the hot-rolled AZ61 Mg alloy at different temperatures for...
