Texture and microstructure evolution in ultrafine- grained AZ31 processed by EX-ECAP.

Abstract

Ultrafine-grained polycrystals of magnesium alloy AZ31 were processed by extrusion followed by ECAP. Texture and microstructure changes as a result of straining due to ECAP were observed by electron back scattered diffraction.
