Abstract

The investigation of high temperature mechanical properties of the friction stir processed AZ61 alloy with different passes shows that the one-pass processed AZ61 Mg alloy exhibits inferior superplastic deformation ability along the FSP forward traveling direction due to the onionring pre-mature splitting. The homogenous microstructure in the multi-pass friction stir processed Mg alloy can avoid the onion-ring splitting and eliminate the anisotropy behavior of high temperature mechanical properties.
