In this research, one solid state processing technique, friction stir processing, is applied to modify the AZ61 magnesium alloy billet. The FSP modified AZ61 alloy could be refined to 3-8 μm via the dynamic recrystallization during processing. The AZ61 magnesium alloy billet with 75μm grain size could be refined to about 7.5μm by four-pass friction stir processing. The hardness of the stirred zone could increase to around 70-80 after friction stir processing, and after a further compressive strain of about 3% could raise the hardness to 81. The ductility of the weld direction specimens of the modified alloy could have a 235% elongation at 300°C and 1x10-4 s-1. The grain boundary sliding (GBS) might be the dominant deformation mechanism during superplastic deformation.

The stretch formability behavior of an AZ61 magnesium alloy plate produced by multi-pass friction stir processing (M-FSP) was investigated, with the applied load vs. displacement curves recorded during Erichsen cupping tests at different punching speeds at room temperature. The stretch formability of M-FSP AZ61 magnesium alloy was significantly enhanced, compared with that of its cast counterpart. The highest Erichsen index of 3.7 mm was obtained at a punching speed of 0.1 mm/min. The improved stretch formability was mainly attributed to the grain refinement stemming from the M-FSP and the presence of extension twinning to accommodate deformation during Erichsen cupping testing.
