Improving room-temperature ductility of a Mg–Zn–Ca alloy through friction stir processing

The effect of friction stir processing (FSP) on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg–Zn–Ca (Mg-1.2wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca) alloy was investigated. The result shows that the average grain size of the stir zone is greatly refined from ∼170 μm to ∼13 μm. Moreover, a basal texture...
