Microstructure and mechanical properties of a low-alloyed Mg–Zn–Al–Ca alloy: Effect of extrusion speed
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A low-alloyed Mg-1.2Zn-0.6Al-0.1Ca (wt.%) alloy was extruded at 200 °C with different ram speeds (0.5–4.0 mm/s), and the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied systematically. Heterostructures with fine dynamic recrystallized (DRXed) grains and coarse unDRXed grains were achieved at lower ram speeds of 0.5 mm/s and 1.0 mm/s, and fully-DRXed microstructure was attained at 4.0 mm/s. Increasing the extrusion speed resulted in an increase in DRXed grain size from 0.9 μm to 3.8 μm, and a transformation of the DRXed texture component from <10 to 10>−<11–20> to a new orientation that deviated by approximately 14°. The sample extruded at 0.5 mm/s presented an excellent tensile yield strength (TYS) of 369 MPa along with a 7.8% elongation, which was mainly due to the high hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening provided by its heterostructures. Increasing ram speed resulted in an improved elongation despite a decreased TYS. The reasons for the decreased strength with increasing extrusion speed were mainly associated with grain growth, reduced dislocation density and weakened HDI strengthening. The reasons for the improved ductility with increasing extrusion speed were largely due to the increased DRXed grains fraction with soft orientations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
