Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Extrusion processing is a common method that is currently being used in the plastic forming of metals and alloys. Extrusion processing technology has become more widely used due to the rapid development of the metal processing industry. In recent years, in addition to improving direct/indirect extrusion processing methods, new technologies have been proposed. For instance, isothermal extrusion, lubrication extrusion, cold extrusion, etc., have been studied in depth and have been applied to numerous applications. The forming mechanism for the extrusion of metals and alloys, which includes the control and characterization of a material’s final properties and the analysis of the forming mechanism that is is activated during the extrusion processing, are the scope of this Special Issue. Metal extrusion technology is in the developmental stages in terms of theoretical and technological research. Fundamental research and technological innovation promote the integration of extrusion technology. It is particularly critical to find existing shortcomings, to attempt to make breakthroughs, and to continuously bring new research topics and development paths to the forefront. In addition, experts and scholars from various fields are required to be jointly devoted to researching extrusion processing technology and to promoting it to a higher field. 

In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on novel extrusion technologies and their influence on the final mechanical properties and formability of materials, including steels and nonferrous alloys (magnesium/aluminum/titanium alloys, etc.). Fully controllable and low-cost extrusion methods are of specific interest. In addition, the forming mechanisms that take place during extrusion need to be unveiled as well. This Special Issue will collect regular research papers, reviews, and short communications.

The influence of Mg17Al12 phase morphology on the mechanical properties of AZ80 magnesium alloy subjected to aging was studied. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and hardness indentation were used to reveal the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of alloys during aging. The results show that Mg17Al12 phase mostly formed at grain boundaries with discontinuous lamellas morphology during aging at 150 °C. In contrast, continuous short rod and spherical Mg17Al12 particles formed transgranularly as aged at 320 °C. Both the strength of the alloy and elongation under room temperature were slightly improved via 150 °C aging. Full article

In this study, we investigated the high strain rate response of Mg-6wt%Er alloys with 1wt%Zn addition by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests in a range of 900–2500 s−1. Their related microstructures were also characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron back-scattering diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In particular, the twinning and stacking faults (SFs) in Mg-6Er and Mg-6Er-1Zn alloys are characterized, and the interactions between twin/SFs and dislocations are analyzed in detail. Compared with twins, the dispersed and dense SFs seem to more readily interact with dislocations, resulting in the enhancement of the strength of alloys. Especially at a high strain rate of 1450 s−1, dislocations are prone to tangle around the twins and SFs, forming low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs). The addition of Zn in Mg-6Er can make LAGBs more easily transform into high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) due to the existence of SFs. Full article

Room-temperature (RT) mechanical anisotropy limits the broad applications of wrought magnesium (Mg) alloys. To weaken the anisotropy, here, we proposed a design idea to create a mixed texture. In the present study, we successfully fabricated the Mg-3Y/Mg-5Li (W3/L5, wt.%) laminated composite, having a mixed texture with a closely orthotropic shape, consisting of an ED-split component in the W3 layer and a TD-split in the L5 layer, via bimetal co-extrusion (ED and TD represent the extrusion and transverse directions, respectively). The mechanical results show that the W3/L5 laminated composite demonstrates a better isotropy at RT, indicating that forming a mixed texture is an effective method to reduce the anisotropy of wrought Mg alloys by bimetal co-extrusion. However, extremely poor interface shear strength, induced by rich O element voids on the interface, triggered poor interface bonding, leading to worse ultimate strength and elongation -to-failure. In future works, controlling co-extrusion parameters or implementing a suitable heat-treatment after extrusion will be necessary to further ameliorate the mechanical properties of the Mg/Mg laminated composites with mixed texture.
