Abstract

The microstructural evolution of of as-cast ZK60 magnesium alloy processed by cyclic extrusion and compression (CEC) were studied, and the effects of technical parameters on microstructural evolution were investigated. The results show that the grains of as-cast ZK60 magnesium alloy were obviously refined and uniformed by CEC, the average grain size was decreased from original 50 ~ 60 μm to about 2 μm when the extrusion ratio was 8 with 8-passes at 350°C, and the refinement effect was increased with the rising of extrusion ratio and passes. The effect of increasing passes on grain refinement was not obvious when it exceeds 8. Nevertheless, it is beneficial for the grain homogenization.
