Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was performed on ZK60 alloy and pure Mg in the
temperature range 150–250° C. A significant grain refinement was detected after ECAP …

Magnesium alloys are the lightest metallic structural materials with an outstanding specific
strength. This makes them appealing for a wide range of applications in “green” …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the effect of the processing by high-pressure
torsion (HPT) on the corrosion behavior in Ringer's solution for two popular bioresorbable …

In this study, the effect of severe plastic deformation on the Mg grain refinement and
recovery mechanism was investigated. Technical pure magnesium was deformed at room …

The magnesium alloys AZ80 und ZK60 received from Dead Sea Magnesium in as-cast
conditions were extruded at T= 350° C using an extrusion ratio of ER= 22. The extruded bars …

Strength enhancement of Mg-based alloys without deteriorating their ductility is currently a
major scientific and industrial challenge. In this study, discs of as-cast EZ33A alloy were …

Grain refinement is attempted using severe plastic deformation (SPD) through the severe
torsion straining process (STSP) which we have developed recently. The STSP is a …

The structure and properties of an Mg–Zn–Ca alloy processed by high‐pressure torsion
(HPT) are investigated. Microstructure is studied by transmission electron microscopy …

It is now well known that processing by SPD can significantly increase the strength of
metallic materials by refining the grain structure and increasing the density of defects. The …

Despite the great potential of Mg and its alloys as material for biodegradable implants, their
low resistance to the simultaneous action of corrosion and mechanical stresses in the …
