This analysis demonstrates improved strength by 80 MPa and ductility in Mg-Y-Zn alloy, suggesting pre-deformation methods can enhance microstructural properties.
The Mg-Y-Zn alloy system is well known for its outstanding combination of high strength and ductility, even at relatively low concentrations of alloying elements. This exceptional performance is primarily at-tributed to its characteristic microstructure, which features Long-Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phases and the distinctive Mille-Feuille Structure (MFS). Kink-induced strengthening, developed during thermomechanical processing, has emerged as a promising strategy to simultaneously enhance strength and ductility. In this study, the beneficial effect of pre-deformation aimed at introducing additional kinks into the microstructure prior to extrusion is demonstrated. The subsequent extrusion process promotes dynamic recrystallization (DRX), generating fine DRX grains while preserving kink structures in the non-DRX regions. As a result, the yield strength is enhanced by approximately 80 MPa, accompanied by a slight improvement in ductility.
