Microstructure and mechanical properties of pure magnesium prepared by CEE-AEC at different temperatures

Cyclic expansion extrusion with an asymmetrical extrusion cavity (CEE-AEC) was carried out on pure magnesium up to 3 passes at different deformation temperatures of 250 °C and 350 °C. The microstructure and texture evolution of its edge and center regions are studied respectively, and their mechanical properties are correlated. The results show that there is an incomplete dynamic recrystallization (DRX) region in pure magnesium deformed at 250 °C. Therefore, pure magnesium processing at 250 °C has a larger grain size and higher texture strength than that processing at 350 °C. According to the tensile test, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of different positions of different temperatures is very close because the DRXed grains grow at 350 °C. But the value of tensile yield strength (TYS) is nearly doubled, the main reasons are that the effect of (0001) basal slip and texture softening is greater than that of grain refinement.
