Project: Improved ductility by texture conrol in rolled and annealed magnesiumsheet

2003-01-01 – 2007-10-31

Abstract

Magnesium sheet material becomes of increasing importance for structural applications because of its very good strenght to density ratio. The thermo-mechanical processing of Mg is severely restricted though, because of the limited ductility of Mg sheet by appropriately designing the alloy composition and applying a process which controls the crystallographic texture.
