Tóm tắt

The extruded Mg–Zn–Y–Zr plate was subjected to friction stir processing (FSP). FSP resulted in significant breakup and dispersion of bulky W-phase particles and remarkable grain refinement, thereby substantially enhancing superplasticity. Maximum superplasticity of 635% was achieved at 450 °C and a relatively high strain rate of 3 × 10−3 s−1. By comparison, the as-extruded sample did not exhibit superplasticity. Grain boundary sliding was identified to be the primary deformation mechanism in the FSP Mg–Zn–Y–Zr by superplastic data analyses and surfacial morphology observations. Furthermore, the superplastic deformation kinetics of the FSP Mg–Zn–Y–Zr is significantly faster than that of equal channel angular pressed (ECAP) magnesium alloys under both as-ECAP and annealing conditions.
