“…3,7,8 However, cracking occurred more easily at low temperature 8 and was also generated more easily with the increase in the number of passes, owing to the increment of the strain density in proportion to the number of passes. After treatment by traditional annealing, the elongation-tofailure of the ECAP-treated Mg alloys was almost the same or increased greatly; however, the strength decreased under the different conditions, 5,6,8 which may be attributed to the grain growth that occurred during conventional annealing.
