Interaction between texture evolution and dynamic recrystallization of extruded AZ80 magnesium alloy during hot deformation

The interaction between dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and texture evolution of AZ80 magnesium alloy during hot deformation was investigated by EBSD analysis. A series of compression experiments along extrusion (ED) and radius (RD) direction were carried out on the as-extruded AZ80 magnesium alloy with <101‾0>//ED fiber texture at 200–300 °C. The results show that there are a more homogeneous microstructure and a stronger softening trend on the...
