Effect of secondary phase particles on thermal stability of ultra-fine grained Mg-4Y-3RE alloy prepared by equal channel angular pressing

Abstract

As-cast magnesium alloy WE43, containing yttrium and rare earth elements, was processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The processing led to a significant grain refinement.
