Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ61-4Si magnesium alloy before and after equal channel angular processing (ECAP) were studied. Results show that the matrix α-Mg and divorced eutectic β-Mg17Al12are refined and chinese script type Mg2Si phases are broken to dispersed particles after ECAP. The mechanical properties of the alloy after ECAP are significantly improved. After 4 passes of ECAP, the yield strength is increased from 50MPa to 109 MPa, tensile strength from 129MPa to 237MPa, elongation from 6% to 22%, and hardness from 61.2HBS to71.5HBS. The modification mechanism for microstructure and mechanical properties of the experimental alloy by ECAP was analyzed.
