Abstract

Use of high density infrared (HDI) processing of magnesium alloy sheet has the advantage of a very rapid anneal coupled with rapid cooling as compared to conventional annealing. Preliminary experiments on wrought commercial sheet, AZ31B-H24, resulted in complete recrystallization through the thickness of the sheet. Tensile tests gave equivalent stress strain curves as compared to specimens conventionally annealed 1 hr at 300 to 500°C. Texture measurements showed a complete elimination of the rolling texture near the surface while the center of the 3 mm thick wrought sheet was similar to that after a conventional 1 hr anneal at 500°C.
