A new processing procedure was applied to an Mg alloy. This procedure involves the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process and laser melting surface treatment. A commercial Mg alloy was first produced by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process. Then the laser melting surfave treatment was carried out after ECAE. The effects of ECAE and laser melting on tribological properties of the alloy were investigated. Experimental results showed that the mechanical properties and tribological properties of the alloy were improved after ECAE. The laser melting surface treatment can further improve the tribological properties of Mg alloy.

A commercial Mg alloy was prepared through equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process. The effect of ECAE on mechanical and tribological properties of the alloy was investigated. Experimental results showed that the hardness and strength of the alloy with ECAE were higher than that of the alloy without ECAE and increased with the increase pass number. The friction coefficient and wear resistance of the alloy after ECAE were significantly improved.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of AZ31 Mg alloy during equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at the temperature range of 453-498K was investigated. The processing temperature is an important factor to affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg alloy during ECAE. ECAE processing can be practiced at 498k or upon the temperature for as-received AZ31 alloy. A new two-step ECAEed processing was successfully used with lowing the processing temperature to 453k. The ductility increased but yield stress decreased though the grain refinement after ECAE at 498k because the recrystallization took place and large angle grain boundary formed. However both the ductility and yield stress were increased after two-step ECAE, which was ascribed to grain refinement as well as incomplete dynamic recovery and recrystallization during the processing.

The mechanical properties mainly tensile properties, impact toughness and high-cycle fatigue properties, of two-phase Al-20Zn alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) via equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) using route A up to 2 passes were studied. The ECAE almost completely eliminated as-cast dendritic microstructure including casting defects such as micro porosities. A refined microstructure consisting of elongated micro constituents, α and α+η eutectic phases, formed after ECAE via route A. As a result of this microstructural change, mechanical properties mainly the impact toughness and fatigue performance of the as-cast Al-20Zn alloy increased significantly through the ECAE. The rates of increase in fatigue endurance limit are approximately 74 % after one pass and 89 % after two passes while the increase in impact toughness is 122 %. Also the yield and tensile strengths of the alloy increase with ECAE. However, no considerable change occurred in hardness and percentage elongation of the alloy. It was also observed that the ECAE changed the nature of the fatigue fracture characteristics of the as-cast Al-20Zn alloy.
