Abstract: A rolling technique for manufacturing magnesium alloy sheets with high plasticity which is characterized in that by heating the rolls during rolling to ensure an unconventional decreasing temperature field from the surface to the center within the rolled material. Due to the poor plasticity and formability of magnesium and magnesium alloys, the use of their sheet products are currently limited, in particular, in high performance applications. To solve this problem, improving on the plasticity and formability of magnesium and magnesium alloy sheets is urgently needed. The present invention presents a rolling technique to manufacture magnesium and magnesium alloy sheets with high plasticity. The said rolling method is featured by heating the rolls during rolling to ensure an unconventional decreasing temperature field from the billet surface to its center, and to make the roll temperature to match with the initial temperature field of the billet material.
