FRACTIONAL RECRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS IN DIRECTLY COLD ROLLED Al-Mg, Al-Mg-Sc AND Al-Mg-Sc-ZrALLOY

The evaluation of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for directly cold rolled al-6mg, al-6mg-0.4sc and al-6mg-0.4sc-0.2zr alloys. samples were annealed isothermally at 400 °c for 1 to 240minutes to allow recrystallization. recrystallization kinetics of the alloys is analyzed from the micro-hardnessvariation. isothermally annealed samples of aluminum alloys were also studied using jmak type analysis to see ifthere exists any correlation between the methods. recrystallization fraction behavior between two methods thescandium added alloys show the higher variation due to precipitation hardening and higher recrystallization behavior.the scandium and zirconium as a combined shows the more variation due to formation of al3(sc, zr) precipitate. fromthe microstructure it is also observed that the base al-mg alloy attained almost fully re-crystallized state afterannealing at 400 °c for 60 minutes.
