TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a magnesium hot rolling method and to a magnesium hot rolling apparatus.
[0002] Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-269058, filed Oct. 16, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0003] To manufacture a magnesium sheet from magnesium alloy, a round bar-shaped billet having, for example, a diameter of approximately 300 to 400 mm and a length of approximately 500 to 600 mm is molded by hot extrusion molding into a thick plate having a thickness of, for example, 10 mm or less. This thick plate is then cut to a predetermined length (for example, 3 m) so as to form a cut plate material, and this cut plate material is then rolled to a thickness of not more than 1 mm by rough rolling.
[0004] In order to roll magnesium alloy at room temperature a large amount of pressure is required. However, even if a large amount of pressure is applied, it still cracks easily. Accordingly,...
