摘要
AZ31 wrought magnesium alloys are light weight materials which play an important role in order to reduces the environmental burdens in modern society because of its high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and stiffness and machinability. Applications of this material are mainly in structural component i.e., in constructions, automobile, aerospace, electronics and marine industries. In the present work, the microstructure characterization of the AZ31 alloys up to four ECAP passes at temperature of 573 K was observed for route Bc. Average grain size of the material was reduced from 31.8 mm to 8 mm after four ECAP passes. Mechanical properties of the alloy improved with increase in number of ECAP passes. Moreover, X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out for as received and ECAP processed material.
