Factors influencing superplastic behavior in a magnesium ZK60 Alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing
Processing by equal-channel angular pressing was used to refine the grain size of a magnesium ZK60 alloy to ~0.8 ?m and introduce a superplastic capability. Superplastic elongations up to >1000% were achieved at temperatures of 450 and 473 K but the superplastic behavior was lost at 493 K because of grain growth. The strain rate sensitivity under optimum superplastic conditions was measured as ~0.5 which is consistent with conventional superplastic flow.

Abstract

Processing by equal-channel angular pressing was used to refine the grain size of a magnesium ZK60 alloy to ~0.8 ?m and introduce a superplastic capability. Superplastic elongations up to >1000% were achieved at temperatures of 450 and 473 K but the superplastic behavior was lost at 493 K because of grain growth. The strain rate sensitivity under optimum superplastic conditions was measured as ~0.5 which is consistent with conventional superplastic flow.
