Abstract
Thermomechanical processing techniques consisting of a deformation process followed by an annealing treatment is a common approach to manipulate mechanical properties. In this research a combination of pre-straining and non-isothermal aging process is combined to study precipitation-hardening behavior of an AZ31B magnesium alloy. Effect of heating rate during non-isothermal aging and pre-straining on the kinetics of precipitation and evolution of hardness is investigated.
