Low temperature superplasticity (LTSP) was studied in a fine-grained magnesium alloy AZ31 which was processed by multi-directional forging (MDF) under decreasing temperature conditions. Tensile specimens were cut from MDFed Mg alloy parallel to the final compression axis (CA), and the tensile axis perpendicular to the CA. Tensile tests was carried out at temperatures from 393K to 473K and at various strain rates. Superplasticity appears even at a low temperature of 393K with a stress exponent (n) of about 0.56 and a total elongation of 370%. The relative large stress exponent can be connected with grain coarsening taking place during deformation. The initial texture hardly takes place during deformation. This suggests that grain rotation does not occur during superplasticcity.

Grain refinement in a magnesium alloy AZ31 was studied in multi-directional forging (MDF) at a strain rate of 3×10-3s-1 with decreasing temperature from 623K to 423K. The MDF was carried out up to large cumulative strains with changing the loading direction during decreasing temperature from pass to pass. The structural changes were characterized by generation of many mutually crossing kink bands at low strains, followed by development of very fine grains at large strains. The results showed that MDF with decreasing temperature can accelerate uniform generation of much finer grains, resulting in the minimal grain size of 0.36µm in a cumulative strain of 4.8 at 423K. The mechanism of grain refinement was discussed.
