摘要

This study investigated the effects of inter-pass reheating (350–550 °C, 5–60 min) on the microstructure and mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation) of AZ31 magnesium alloy rolled sheets via orthogonal experiments, with a dual-index system (average grain size, grain size dispersion) for microstructure quantification. A cellular automaton (CA) model was established to simulate optimal microstructural evolution. The key process window was clarified: 400 °C is the critical temperature, with 10 min holding yielding fine equiaxed grains and high strength, and 60 min holding improving plasticity via better microstructure uniformity without obvious strength loss. At 400°C, grain size and its dispersion both first decrease and then increase with reheating time.
