Abstract

The Mg-alloy, ZK60, was subjected to equal-channel-angular processing (ECAP) using different strain paths: routes A, B, and C, and, through route A, different straining levels, 1, 2, 4, and 8 passes. Optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and orientation-imaging microscopy (OIM) analyses are used for structural characterization as a function of plastic deformation. The grain refinement, texture, and elastic microstrain evolutions, related to the deformation mechanisms and initiation of the continuous dynamic recrystallization during severe plastic deformation of the ZK60 alloy, are discussed.
