Abstract
Equal channel angular extrusion, patented in Russia by V. M. Segal in 1977, has become a promising technique to enhance tensile strength and corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. It is believed that the processing temperature ensures the production of ECAE-processed billet without surface defects. Indeed, ECAE processing temperature affects microstructure, tensile behavior, and corrosion resistance of the material. Therefore, this chapter investigates the impact of ECAE pressing temperature on microstructure, mechanical behavior, and corrosion resistance of AZ80 Mg alloys. The processing temperature of 533 and 663 K was selected based on the recrystallization temperature of Mg alloys. As a result, the processing temperature has a substantial impact on material properties. The axial tensile strength and hardness decrease by 25.45% and 6.56%, respectively, due to thermal softening of materials. The corrosion resistance increases by 84% due to grain size reduction and distribution of secondary phases, when the ECAP-4P processing temperature is increased from 533 K to 663 K.
