Summary: | Mg and Mg alloys are promising materials for light weight high strength applications. In
this paper, grain refinement of pure Mg using severe plastic deformation was tried to enhance
mechanical properties of the hard-to-deform metallic material. The microstructure and the
mechanical properties of Mg processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at various
processing temperatures were investigated experimentally. ECAP of channel angle of 90o and
corner angle of 0o was successful without fracture of the samples at 300 oC. The hardness of the
ECAP processed Mg decreased with increasing ECAP processing temperature. The effect of
temperature on the hardness and microstructure of the ECAP processed Mg were explained by the
dislocation glide in the basal plane and non-basal slip systems and the dynamic recrystallization and
recovery. |
