Abstract

The hot working characteristics of as-cast Mg–3Sn–1Ca alloy have been studied using processing-map technique and the kinetic rate equation. The map exhibited two domains; one in the lower strain rate range (0.0003-0.01 s-1) and the other in the higher strain rate range (0.1-10 s-1)-both falling in the same temperature range of 350–550 s-1. Hot extrusion at 500°C and a speed corresponding to an average strain rate of 3 s-1 exhibited dynamically recrystallized microstructure. The estimated apparent activation energy values are higher than those for self-diffusion in pure magnesium suggesting that the large volume fraction of MgSnCa intermetallic particles causes significant back stress.
