In the current study, a homogenous ultra-fine grained microstructure with average grain size
of 1.0 µm is achieved in the Mg–Zn–Ca–Mn alloy through the reduplicative equal channel …

Two magnesium alloys containing yttrium and rare-earth elements were processed by equal
channel angular pressing (ECAP) to explore the effect of the small addition of zirconium on …

The addition of Nd significantly improves the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys.
However, only limited amounts of Nd or other rare earth (RE) elements should be used due …

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) in magnesium alloys due to the severe plastic
shear deformations provides both grain refinement and the slope of the initial basal texture …

In this paper, the homogenized Mg-9Gd-2Nd-1.6 Zn-1Zr (wt%) alloys were subjected to
various equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) passes (1, 2, 4 and 8) with Bc route at 400° …

Numerous studies of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) considered the sample and
mould temperatures as a whole, ignoring their different control effects during ECAP …

The Mg–6Zn–2Al alloy was processed by ECAP and microstructure and mechanical
properties of the alloy before and after ECAP were studied. The results revealed that the …

Various equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) regimes by routes A and Bc were applied
to a commercial MA2-1 (Mg-5wt.% Al-1wt.% Zn-0.4 wt.% Mn) alloy for the development of …

The difficult-to-work Mg alloys was subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)
under a condition of various pressing temperatures. Pure Mg was susceptible to shear …

Abstract An extruded Mg–3Al–1Zn alloy bar is subjected to 1–4 passes equal channel
angular pressing (ECAP) with or without 125 MPa backpressure via route Bc at 200° C. Both …
