Abstract  The microstructure of broadloom AZ31B magnesium alloy roll-casting plate and its influence on the edge crack and mechanical properties of the plate were studied by using metallographic observation, SEM and mechanical property testing experiment. The results show that: the plate organization is mainly composed of α -Mg matrix, β -Mg17Al12 phase and α + β divorced eutectic, showing dendritic morphology; In surface and edge of the plate, β -Mg17Al12 phase is mainly distributed at the grain boundary and the density is bigger, formed net-shape; In center and central of the plate, spherical β -Mg17Al12 phase is dispersed in α-Mg matrix, formed lamellar-shape; The main reason for the edge crack in the cast-rolling process is in the slab edge interdendritic low-melting eutectic phase and β -Mg17Al12 phase of grain boundary which are easy to be crack source, and extend outward along the crystal; The tensile specimen showes brittle cleavage fracture characteristics, and its mechanical property is obvious anisotropy.
