The microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ81magnesium alloys after unequal channel angular pressing (UCAP) was investigated using self-made 90° die under different temperature. The results showed that under the same pressing speed, there was a better grain refinement and mechanical property improvement with the decreasing of pressing temperature, however, the tiny cracks on the surface of the processed samples increased. When squeezed at 250 , the average grain was refined from the initial 150um to10um. The tensile strength was changed to 350Mpa, and the elongation was of 10. Tensile fractures presented the increment of dimples structure, which was the result of refined α-Mg matrix and intermetallic compound β-Mg17Al12 phase by severe shear and plastic deformation at high temperature press.

The effect of Gd(gadolinium) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of aged AZ81 magnesium alloy were investigated. The results showed that 2wt.%Gd addition results in the obvious refinement of grain size, the decrease of β-Mg17Al12 phase and the formation of Al2Gd phase, and improves the mechanical properties of AZ81 alloy at room and high temperature. After the addition of 2wt.%Gd, the tensile strengths are enhanced from 203.2MPa to 249.3MPa at room temperature and from 157.2MPa to 197.3MPa at 150°C. Meanwhile, the elongations are increased.

The effects of Sr addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Mg-6Al mag- nesium alloy both at 25 °C and at 175 °C were investigated by means of OM, SEM and EDS and XRD. Upon the Sr addition of 2%, the tensile strength was increased by 7.2% to 184.4MPa at 25 °C, while it was increased by 30% to 155.4MPa at 175 °C. The strengthening mechanism of Mg-6Al-xSr at lower temperature (25 °C) was different from that at higher temperature (175°C). The results show that the addition of strontium effectively improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy.
