Abstract
Superplastic behavior of Mg-8.5Li-1Zn and Mg-8.5Li-3Zn alloys has been investigated. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the Mg-Li-Zn alloys during extruding with high ratio after stir casting. Mg-8.5Li-1Zn alloy exhibits an elongation of about 400% at the high strain rate of 1.110-2S-1 at 623K, while the Mg-8.5Li-3Zn alloy shows maximum elongation of more than 540%. The apparent activation energy for superplastic flow of both Mg-8.5Li-1Zn and Mg-8.5Li-3Zn alloys at 573-673K is about 86kJ/mol and 79kJ/mol, respectively, so that the dominant deformation mechanism in Mg-Li-Zn alloys is grain boundary sliding (GBS) controlled by grain boundary diffusion.
