Popis: A dynamic impact test was performed on as-rolled AZ31 alloys with gradient microstructure under various strains. The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. As the strain rate gradually increased, an increasing number of twins were formed, facilitating dynamic recrystallization (DRX), and the mechanical properties were also gradually improved. The microstructure became heterogeneous at higher strain rates, but the peak stress decreased. The impact process resulted in a significantly higher performance due to microstructural refinement, work hardening by dislocations, and precipitates. In addition, both the adiabatic shear band and the adjacent crack experienced a temperature rise that exceeded the recrystallization temperature of the alloys. This observation also explains the presence of ultrafine recrystallized grains within the adiabatic shear band and the appearance of molten metal around the crack.
