Abstract

The commercially pure magnesium (Mg) was successfully processed through equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a set of warm temperature and back pressure up to four passes in different routes. The microstructural, mechanical and wear behavior has been investigated with respect to the number of passes and the processing route. The samples have displayed substantial grain refinement, improved mechanical properties and wear resistance after the ECAP process. The fractographs of tensile samples confirmed fracture mode as a ductile–brittle mixed fracture. The X-ray line profile analysis demonstrates that modifications in the microstructure after ECAP contribute to the improved mechanical properties. The sample processed in route BC exhibits improved mechanical and wear properties owing to its refined microstructure and maximum microhardness.
