High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) is widely used to refine the structure of metallic materials through the use of severe plastic deformation. This technique is used in this report to process different magnesium alloys using various processing conditions. The high hydrostatic pressure allows processing of these materials at room temperature without cracking. The structure was characterized and hardness distribution was determined at different areas of the processed samples. The results show significant structure refinement and increased hardness. The evolution of the structure and hardness depends on the alloying and HPT processing conditions.
