Microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 alloy processed by two-step equal channel angular pressing

Hydrogen storage properties of bulk nanostructured ZK60 Mg alloy processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing

“…Up to now a final average grain size of only 0.8 m [13,17,20,21], 1.4 m [16] and 1.0-1.8 m [22] was reported after ECAP under different conditions (temperature, interior die geometry:˚, « , processing route). Comparable grain refinement down to submicrometer size of 0.5-1 m was observed in other magnesium alloys processed by ECAP [23,24].…”

Investigation of microstructure characteristics of the CVCDEed AZ31 magnesium alloy

“…The microstructure of magnesium alloy after plastic deformation was studied and the results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred [1,2]. DRX *Corresponding author: Tel: +86 451 86392501 Fax: +86 451 86392555 E-mail addresses: fli@hrbust.edu.cn or hitlif@126.com(F. Li) 3 leads to the grain refinement, which can greatly improve the ductility of magnesium alloy and has a significant impact on the performance of magnesium alloy.…”

Superplastic Behavior of Friction Stir Processed ZK60 Magnesium Alloy

“…Currently, a mount of studies on second phase in the ZK60 alloy have been reported. [12][13][14] He et al 12) indicated that the large blocky particles and fine particles consisted of 00 (MgZn 2 ) phase and 0 (MgZn) phase, respectively, in ECAP ZK60 alloy. Further, in our previous study, we also found that FSW resulted in the dissolution of 00 phase in the SZ of ZK60 alloy.…”
