Patent number: 9499887Abstract: The invention offers a magnesium alloy sheet having excellent warm plastic formability, a production method thereof, and a formed body produced by performing warm plastic forming on this sheet. The magnesium alloy sheet is produced by giving a predetermined strain to a rolled sheet RS that is not subjected to a heat treatment aiming at recrystallization. The sheet is not subjected to the foregoing heat treatment even after the giving of a strain. The strain is given through the process described below. A rolled sheet RS is heated in a heating furnace 10. The heated rolled sheet RS is passed between rollers 21 to give bending to the rolled sheet RS. The giving of a strain is performed such that the strain-given sheet has a half peak width of 0.20 deg or more and 0.59 deg or less in a (0004) diffraction peak in monochromatic X-ray diffraction. The alloy sheet exhibits high plastic deformability by forming continuous recrystallization during warm plastic forming through the use of the remaining strain.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Ryuichi Inoue, Nozomu Kawabe, Nobuyuki Mori, Masatada Numano, Junichi Matsumoto, Motonori Nakamura, Masayuki Nishizawa, Atsushi Kimura, Yukihiro Oishi
