Abstract

The Mg-Zn-Al alloy processed by hot extrusion typically exhibits strong grain size dependence of yield stress. However, the same friction stir processed Mg-Zn-Al alloy samples exhibited much weaker grain size dependence. The high Schmid factor of around 0.3 of the friction stir processed samples is responsible for the low parameters in the Hall-Petch relationship.
