Review on Hydrostatic Extrusion of Magnesium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium wrought alloys are of special interest for structural components owing to their improved microstructures and mechanical properties by comparison with Mg cast parts. However, the market of Mg wrought alloys is still relatively small and one of the most important limitations for their application in areas such as aviation and spaceflight is that their strength is still not high enough to be widely used. Currently, more and more attention are paid to hydrostatic extrusion of Mg alloys because the extruded Mg alloys which exhibit extremely fine grains and high strength can be easily obtained by hydrostatic extrusion process. This review detailed the microstructures and mechanical properties of various wrought Mg alloys subjected to hydrostatic extrusion. Furthermore, numerical simulations and processing parameters optimization of the hydrostatic extrusion were also discussed. Finally, the current problems and development trends of hydrostatic extrusion of high-strength Mg alloys were also put forward.
