摘要
The superplastic behavior of a fine-grained AZ91 alloy, processed by equal channel angular extrusion, has been investigated in a low temperature range of 423-523 K. The experimental results showed a stress exponent of 2 and the activation energy for superplastic flow was in agreement with that for grain boundary diffusion of magnesium. The alloy with non-equilibrium grain boundary structures exhibited lower superplastic elongation than the alloy with equilibrium grain boundaries. Furthermore, the strain rate for superplastic flow of the former was lower than that of the latter. These differences probably arise because the accommodation process for grain boundary sliding is hampered by the long-range stresses associated with the non-equilibrium grain boundaries.
