High Temperature Creep and Superplasticity in a Mg-Zn-Zr Alloy

Creep and superplasticity were investigated by testing a fine-grained extruded Mg–Zn–Zr magnesium alloy under a wide range of applied stress in the temperature range between 100 and 300 ℃. Grain boundary sliding became the dominating mechanism at 200 ℃, leading to a true superplastic behaviour at 30...

Summary:Creep and superplasticity were investigated by testing a fine-grained extruded Mg–Zn–Zr magnesium alloy under a wide range of applied stress in the temperature range between 100 and 300 ℃. Grain boundary sliding became the dominating mechanism at 200 ℃, leading to a true superplastic behaviour at 300 ℃, where superplasticity was attained even under relatively high strain rates (5×10-3 s-1 ). By contrast, for lower temperatures, the straining process was controlled by dislocation climb. A comprehensive model, taking into account the simultaneous operation of the different mechanisms, was developed to describe the strain rate dependence on applied stress.
