Uniaxial tension and compression tests were conducted to investigate the quasi-static performance of ZK60 Mg alloy in cast, followed by forging at optimum temperature of 450 ºC and a ram speed of 39 mm min -1 condition. Microstructure and texture analysis showed that the as-cast alloy exhibited a dendritic structure with casting porosity and random texture. In contrast, the forged alloy exhibited a refined grain structure with a significant reduction in casting porosity, while the texture changed to sharp basal texture. Measured mechanical properties of the forged alloy showed that the strength did not change, however, the ductility improved by 75%.The analysis of the fracture surface of the forged alloy under tension revealed a ductile fractureThe final publication is available at Elsevier via http://dx.
