In this paper tensile properties at elevated temperature of extruded AZ91 magnesium alloy and the same alloy further processed by ECAP (exECAP) are compared. The tensile tests were performed at room temperature and for the temperature range of 100 to 300 °C. Loading speed 2 mm/min was used for the tests. At room temperature mechanical properties except elongation were slightly higher for extruded material yet still very similar to properties of exECAPed material. Overall trend of properties evolution with increasing temperature was also similar but the decrease of strength or the increase of elongation and reduction of area respectively is more intensive for exECAPed material. Elongation of exECAPed material exceeded elongation of extruded material more than twice at 300 °C and with value of ~260% this alloy exhibited pseudosuperplastic behavior.

The effect of Ca and Sr content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a cast AZ91 magnesium alloy is investigated. Ca and Sr additions in AZ91 magnesium alloy are expected high creep resistance. The microstructure of the alloy exhibits the dendritic α-matrix and the second-phases forming networks on the grain boundary. Tensile tests at elevated temperatures between 448 and 523K reveal that the creep resistance was improved with increasing the additional amount of Ca, especially more than 1.0wt%. From the perspective of grain refinement effect, it is expected that the additions of Ca and Sr to AZ91 magnesium alloy not only improve creep resistance but also improve mechanical properties at room temperature.

Effects of CaCO3 modificator on microstructure and mechanical properties of cast AZ91 Magnesium alloy have been investigated. Tensile fracture behavior of AZ91 alloys modified by CaCO3 has also been studied. Results show that CaCO3 modificator can obviously refine the grain of AZ91 magnesium alloy and Mg17Al12. Mg17Al12 in grain boundary of AZ91 alloy after modified by CaCO3 changes from continuous reticular structure to discontinuous reticular structure, even so much as granular structure and rod structure. After modified by 0.5wt% CaCO3 modificator, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, impact toughness and elongation of AZ91 alloy increase from 186MPa to 200MPa, from 147MPa to 160MPa, from 4J to 9J and from 2.6% to 5%, respectively. And 0.5wt% CaCO3 modificator brings about an optimal refining effect. The study also shows that the fracture mechanism of modified AZ91 alloy is between cleavage fracture and quasi-cleavage fracture, which is as same as that of unmodified AZ91 alloy.
