Influence accumulative plastic deformation on structure and properties of Mg-Zr alloy

Abstract

One of the boisterously developing areas is the development of nano-structural materials, which at present belongs to the priority areas of scientific research aimed at materials and also at forming technologies all over the world. This concerns specifically forming of non-ferrous metals and their alloys. Significance of use of these materials grows especially in automotive industry, in military and space industries. This paper informs namely on ECAP technology investigations that have been oriented by overall objectives of acquiring new knowledge concerning deformation resistances, stress condition impacts and structure and properties of nonferrous metals and its alloys. Magnesium - zirconium alloy for investigation was used.
