Abstract

High-pressure torsion provides the opportunity to introduce significant plastic strain at room temperature in magnesium and its alloys. It is now established that this processing operation produces ultrafine-grained structures and changes the properties of these materials. The present paper shows that the mechanism of grain refinement differs from f.c.c. and b.c.c. materials. It is shown that fine grains are formed at the grain boundaries of coarse grains and gradually consume the whole structure. Also, the processed material exhibits unusual mechanical properties due to the activation of grain boundary sliding at room temperature.
