Evolution of microstructure and hardness in an AZ80 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

An AZ80 magnesium alloy with an initial grain size of ∼25 μm and a hardness of Hv ≈ 63 was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature for up to 10 turns under an imposed pressure of 6.0 GPa. After processing, the specimens were examined by optical microscopy and transmission electr...
