Mechanical properties and microstructure of magnesium alloys processed by severe plastic deformation

Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate mechanical properties (namely microhardness) of two magnesium alloys processed by high-pressure torsion and correlate the results with microstructure evolution studied by light and transmission electron microscopy.
