Abstract
A novel and interesting dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism was observed in a Mg–Al–Zn–Mn magnesium alloy (AZ61) extruded at 450 °C. The misorientation distribution of the dynamically recrystallized grains was measured by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results show that a portion of the grains from DRX satisfy the { 10 1 ¯ 2 } 〈 1 0 1 ¯ 1 ¯ 〉 twin orientation relationship and indicate that twinning plays an important role in DRX. The EBSD image-quality maps show that the morphologies of the twin boundaries are rough and incoherent.
