Microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of a binary Al–7Mg alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing

Achieving high strength and uniform deformation simultaneously in Al alloys processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) remains a challenging task as these alloys usually possess high strength but very limited uniform deformability, i.e.

The high strength is due to a combination of strengthening by the high density of dislocations, ultrafine grains and high solute Mg content. The high uniform elongation is due primarily to the enhanced work hardening resulted from the high solute Mg content and the bimodal grain structure, while the dynamic strain aging effect is supposed also to contribute to the high ductility.
