The mechanical properties and microstructure of the as-extruded ZM21 magnesium alloy and its modified alloy ZME210 with addition of 0.35wt% cerium were investigated with different extrusion ratios from 14 to 182 by using mechanical property test, microscopic structure quantitative analysis, SEM observation and energy spectrum analysis. The results showed that both ZM21 and ZME210 had an extrusion ratio limit for grain refining, and the grains were found to be finer with higher extrusion ratio when the ratio was not higher than the limit value. The extrusion ratio limit for the best effect for grain refining of ZME210 is lower than that of ZM21. It was found that the Ce can refine the grains effectively after hot extrusion with different extrusion ratios. The effects of Ce on the microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed.

The present work mainly investigated the effect of extrusion temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-1.3Zn-0.5Ca (wt.%) alloys. The alloys were subjected to extrusion at 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C with an extrusion ratio of 9.37. The results demonstrated that both the average size and volume fraction of dynamic recrystallized (DRXed) grains increased with increasing extrusion temperature (DRXed fractions of 0.43, 0.61, and 0.97 for 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C, respectively). Moreover, the as-extruded alloys exhibited a typical basal fiber texture. The alloy extruded at 300 °C had a microstructure composed of fine DRXed grains of ~1.54 µm and strongly textured elongated unDRXed grains. It also had an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 355 MPa, tensile yield strength (TYS) of 284 MPa, and an elongation (EL) of 5.7%. In contrast, after extrusion at 400 °C, the microstructure was almost completely DRXed with a greatly weakened texture, resulting in an improved EL of 15.1% and UTS of 274 MPa, TYS of 220 MPa. At the intermediate temperature of 350 °C, the alloy had a UTS of 298 MPa, TYS of 234 MPa, and EL of 12.8%.
