ABSTRACT Magnesium (Mg) alloys are difficult to cold/warm-process due to their hexagonal close-packed (HCP) lattice, which has restricted slip systems and makes plastic deformation at low temperatures a challenging task. Multi-axial forging (MAF) and annealing of as-cast alloys were combined to create a texture-free ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure with a high strength-high ductility combination to address this challenge. The study showed a clear and fundamental change from basal and pyramidal dislocation slip to twinning in the strong and ductile UFG Mg alloy compared to the low strength coarse-grained (CG) Mg alloy counterpart. This implied that the dislocation activity, grain orientation, and particular grain boundary states played an important role in controlling the deformation mechanisms. The potential impact of processing Mg alloys by MAF opens-up a new frontier of strong and ductile low-density materials for light and efficient solutions including energy absorption and formability and provides a perspective in terms of process-structure-property relationship.
