Abstract

The microstructure especially the lamellar second phase evolution by a combination of deformation and heat treatment for AZ80 alloy was investigated. The results show that there are finer lamellar Mg17Al12 phases after hot compression with the increasing strain, while there are coarse lamellar discontinuous precipitation cells of β-Mg17Al12 phase spreading from the grain boundaries into the grains after T6 treatment of the compressed samples. The lamellar morphologies especially the lamellar distance of β-Mg17Al12 phase precipitation of the T6 treated deformation specimen at different strains differ from each other as there are different grain boundaries in the corresponding compressed specimens.
