| Fine-grained magnesium alloy QE22 (Mg-2.5wt.%Ag-2.5wt.%RE-0.6wt.%Zr) was prepared from cast ingot which was submitted to a two stages heat treatment. Subsequently the billet was overaged and extruded at high temperature. Samples were deformed at elevated temperatures from 380°C up to 480°C at various strain rates. Microstructure of deformed samples was studied using light and electron microscopy. Conditions for superplasticity of the investigated alloys have been estimated. Possible deformation mechanisms are discussed. |
