The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ31D processed by equal channel angular extrusion(ECAE) are studied. The processing temperature and the passes of extrusion are important factors to affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of the magnesium alloy during ECAE. In this paper, ECAE was performed at the temperature from 523 to 673K. The ductility increased through the grain refinement after the ECAE because the recrystallization took place and high angle grain boundary formed. The elongation of magnesium alloys AZ31D was improved after the ECAE. The maximum elongation-to-failure of magnesium alloys AZ31D processed by ECAE for 4 passes at 573K and strain rate of 0.5 10−4 s−1 × was 350%.

AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets were prepared by low-speed extrusion at different temperatures, i.e., 350 °C, 400 °C, and 450 °C. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets were studied. Results indicate that the low-speed extrusion obviously improved the microstructure of magnesium alloys. As the extrusion temperature decreased, the grain size for the produced AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets decreased, and the (0001) basal texture intensity of the extruded sheets increased. The yield strength and tensile strength of the extruded sheets greatly increased as the extrusion temperature decreased. The AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet prepared by low-speed extrusion at 350 °C exhibited the finest grain size and the best mechanical properties. The average grain size, yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation of the extruded sheet prepared by low-speed extrusion at 350 °C were ~2.7 μm, ~226 MPa, ~353 MPa, and ~16.7%, respectively. These properties indicate the excellent mechanical properties of the extruded sheets prepared by low-speed extrusion. The grain refinement effect and mechanical properties of the extruded sheets produced in this work were obviously superior to those of magnesium alloys prepared using traditional extrusion or rolling methods reported in other related studies.
