A ZK60 magnesium alloy was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) for up to 8 passes at 473 K and the evolution of strength and microstructural parameters were determined using hardness testing and X-ray line profile analysis. The results show the subgrain size and twin boundary density increase between 1 and 2 passes and then decrease, the dislocation density continuously decreases up to 8 passes and the measured microhardness remains reasonably constant between 1 and 8 passes of ECAP. The results are interpreted using a model based on the additive effects of the dislocation density and an average size factor incorporating the effects of both the twin and the subgrain boundaries.
Research highlights▶ Dislocation density decreases with increasing numbers of passes. ▶ Mean free path for dislocations decreases with numbers of passes. ▶ Additive effects of dislocation density and mean free path balance the strength.
