Enhancement of strain-rate sensitivity and shear yield strength of a magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion
A Mg–Zn–Zr alloy was processed by high-pressure torsion for up to 2 turns at room temperature to produce significant grain refinement together with enhanced plasticity and strength. Measurements were performed to determine the strain-rate sensitivity, shear yield strength and activation volume as a function of the processing conditions.

Abstract

A Mg–Zn–Zr alloy was processed by high-pressure torsion for up to 2 turns at room temperature to produce significant grain refinement together with enhanced plasticity and strength. Measurements were performed to determine the strain-rate sensitivity, shear yield strength and activation volume as a function of the processing conditions. The results suggest there is a significant contribution from grain boundary sliding to the flow process and the onset of plasticity is associated with heterogeneous dislocation nucleation.
