Modifying microstructures and tensile properties of Mg-Sm based alloy via extrusion ratio

Microstructure and tensile properties of a Mg-Sm-Zn-Zr alloy with various extrusion ratios (ERs) of 6.9, 10.4 and 17.6 were systematically investigated. It was identified that, greater ER increased dynamic recrystallization (DRX) fraction and coarsened DRX grains, which further suggests weakened bas...
