Real-time evolution of texture and temperature during friction stir processing of a magnesium alloy: An operando neutron diffraction study

Journal Article · · Acta Materialia
The real-time development of texture and the evolution of temperature during friction stir processing (FSP) of a Mg alloy were investigated using an operando neutron diffraction measurement. A novel approach was applied in this study where the real-time, quasi-steady state measurements performed as a function of position during FSP are converted to a Lagrangian dataset that reveals the transient behavior as a function of time. The in-situ FSP was carried out under two different thermo-mechanical processing conditions represented by the Zener-Hollomon parameter, Z. Further, the results show that: (i) a shear texture develops from the initial strong basal texture with the peak temperature reaching about 774 K during a low-Z processing and (ii) a strong off-normal texture develops with a peak temperature of 616 K during a high-Z processing. Moreover, time-temperature-texture diagrams were established to reveal the real-time development of the texture during the processing for both the low Z and high Z processing conditions. The changes in texture will be discussed in terms of plastic deformation mechanisms active during various stages of the FSP under the two different processing conditions.
