Abstract

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was applied to control the microstructure of AZ31B magnesium alloy. Compression properties of both as-received and grain refined AZ31B alloy were investigated under quasi-static and dynamic loadings. The yield strength, ultimate strength, failure strain and flow stress under compression loading were studied. Both the as-received alloy and ECAPed alloy show strong strain rate sensitivity. Grain size, texture and strain rate jointly affect the deformation mechanisms. Through fractography analysis, the fracture mechanism was analyzed.
