Sheet metal forming operations in the automotive industry, including stamping, flanging,
bending, hemming and trimming, are dominantly done at room temperature (RT) …

Strength and ductility synergy in an Mg-3mass% Al-Mn (AM30) alloy sheet was successfully
improved via twin-roll casting and annealing at low-temperature. An AM30 alloy sheet …

To develop high-performance magnesium alloy sheets for sheet applications in the
automotive industry, we investigated the effects of the Al content on the tensile properties …

The deformation behavior of a weakly textured Mg–1.52 Zn–0.09 Ca (mass%) alloy sheet
during room-temperature uniaxial tensile and bending tests was thoroughly investigated …

In this paper, we report the use of cold-sample rolling (CSR) processing, which induced a
high fraction of double twins and a substantial texture-weakening effect in an Al …

The formability of naturally-aged Al-Mg-Si alloy blanks (6xxx alloys) is considered as stable
within 6 months after the solution heat treatment (SHT). After this period of time the blanks …

We have developed a strong Mg–6Zn-0.2 Ca (wt.%) based alloy sheet with good room-
temperature formability via micro-alloying of Al and Mn. The Al and Mn micro-alloyed Mg …

The effect of “micro-texture” on tensile properties and room-temperature stretch formability of
Mg-Al-Zn alloy sheet was investigated. The micro-texture was successfully introduced in the …

Sever plastic deformation processing has been frequently used to refine grain size and to
improve properties in metals and alloys. The impact of combination of equal channel …

Lightweight sheet alloys with superior mechanical performance such as high strength,
ductility and formability at room temperature (RT) are desirable for high volume automotive …
