During hot compression, Mg17Al12(β) precipitates show strong influence on the microstructural changes of 415°C-24h homogenized AZ91 alloy. When compressed at 300°C and 350°C, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) only occurs near grain boundaries with discontinuous β precipitate pinning at the newly DRXed grain boundaries. With increasing compression temperature and decreasing strain rate, the β-precipitating region expands; however, the amount of pinning precipitates decreases, resulting in increases in the DRX ratio and average DRXed grain size. With a compression ratio of only 50%, the specimen compressed at 350°C and a strain rate of 0.2s−1(designated 350°C-0.2s−1compressed specimen) shows an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 334MPa, a 0.2% proof stress (PS) of 195MPa and an enough elongation of 17.9%. After a subsequent aging treatment at 180°C, due to the large number of β precipitates, the strength of the compressed specimens are further improved, and the specimen peak aged after compression at 400°C and 0.2s−1shows UTS of 364MPa and PS of 248MPa with a moderate elongation of 7.7%.
