Summary

The deformation behavior of a fine-grained AZ91 alloy has been investigated. The specimens were prepared using equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). Mechanical properties of the AZ91 alloy after multi-angular pressing were estimated at testing temperatures from 20 °C to 300 °C. The values of the yield stress and the maximum stress of ECAP specimens are higher than those of initial specimens. Elongation to fracture (ductility) increases with increasing test temperature and with number of extrusion. The values of the strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress suggest a superplastic behavior of the ECAP processed material above 200 °C.
