Abstract

High Mn content added to Mg–6Zn–0.3Ca extruded alloy remarkably refined dynamically recrystallized (DRXed) grains, and enhanced tensile and compressive strengths without sacrificing ductility. The large amount of fine Mn precipitates of homogenized alloy that formed effectively restricted new grain growth during the subsequent extrusion and generated ultra-fine DRXed grains. The ultra-fine DRXed grains and large amount of precipitates essentially enhanced the strength and improved the anisotropy of alloy. The Mg–Mn–x ternary systems that potentially formed ultra-fine grains were also discussed.
