Abstract

The recrystallization and grain growth activation energies of the hybrid AZ31/Mg-0.6Gd
(wt.%) alloy were calculated using differential scanning calorimetry analyses and scanning
electron microscopy, respectively, after fabricating by high-pressure torsion up to 20 turns and
then subjecting to an isochronal annealing treatment from 423 to 723 K for 1 h. The DSC results
show one exothermic peak belonging to the static recrystallization of the AZ31 region with an
activation energy of 112 ± 10 kJ/mol. The grain growth kinetics for the AZ31 and Mg-0.6Gd
regions were described by the Arrhenius equation. The calculation with a grain growth exponent
equal to 4 gave values for the activation energies in both the AZ31 (146.2 ± 8.4 kJ/mol) and
Mg-0.6Gd (90.9 ± 13.5 kJ/mol) regions. The present results reveal the heterogeneity of the
thermal stability of the AZ31/Mg-0.6Gd hybrid material.
