A review paper on magnesium alloy fabricated by severe plastic deformation technology and its effects over microstructural and mechanical properties

Abstract

Abstract This review paper mainly focused on microstructural and mechanical properties ofultrafine grained nanocrystalline (Nc) Magnesium alloy fabricated by Severe Plastic Deformation(SPD) process. The influence of SPD over mechanical, microstructural, physical, optical, and corrosion properties of Nanocrystalline magnesium alloy are detailed and discussed. It has been observed that nanocrystalline (Nc) magnesium materials has shown superior properties over the bonding of grains while during the Extrusion, Annealing, quenching, Normalizing, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) processes. The outcome based by many researchers showed that nanocrystalline Magnesium alloy processed by Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) showed an improved properties over the Hardness, Dislocation density, Compressive, Tensile and texture, and it’s found to be increased up to certain limit beyond that decrease of microstructural stability, micro hardness and dislocation density were seen to be observed. The Microstructural and Mechanical properties are well improved by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), Extrusion, Annealing, Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) and High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) processes. Grain growth Mechanism, Energies Activation during grain growth, Thermal stability, Relative density and stress corrosion rate were observed by previous Researchers during Fractography analysis over several nanocrystalline (Nc) Magnesium alloy specimens.
