Friction stir processing (FSP) is a novel severe plastic deformation technique developed in recent years to produce fine-grained structural materials. Through increasing the processing pass, further grain refinement can be achieved. In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy prepared by the single-pass and two-pass FSP were studied. The results showed that the coarse, network-like eutectic β-Mg17Al12 phase was broken into particles and some of them dissolved into the magnesium matrix, and the α-Mg grains were remarkably refined after FSP. The average grain sizes of the single-pass and two-pass FSP alloys were 8.3 μm and 5.8 μm respectively. The ultimate tensile strengths of the specimens were 284.5 MPa and 319.7 MPa, and elongations were 13% and 14.5%, respectively. The improved mechanical properties of the two-pass FSP specimen were mainly attributed to the finer grain size and more homogenized microstructure.
