Abstract
Superplastic deformation behavior was investigated for a dual-phase Mg-Ca alloy. The elongation-to-failure reached more than 120% with the strain rate sensitivity, m, over 0.4. The activation energy required for the deformation was estimated to be 98 kJ/mol which is close to the activation energy for grain boundary diffusion in magnesium. Therefore, the superplastic deformation mechanism was suggested to be the grain boundary sliding rate, which is controlled by boundary diffusion.
