TL;DR: In this article, the effect of five FSP conditions on the high-temperature deformation properties of a continuous cast Al-Mg alloy has been investigated, and it was observed that FSP broke down the cast structure and refined the grain size to less than 3μm, enabling tensile elongation of over 800% at 530°C with a strain rate of 3.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of tool design on superplastic behavior of friction stir processed Al-Mg alloys has been investigated and four different tools were used and compared.

TL;DR: In this article, tensile testing of hydrostatically extruded round bars of AZ31 and AZ61 has been performed to analyse the flow behaviour as well as the microstructure and texture development as a function of temperature (175-225 °C) and strain rate (0.0001-0.01 ǫ s−1).

TL;DR: The hot deformation behavior and microstructure of AZ31 and AZ61 alloys processed by the hot-rolled technique were investigated over a strain rate range from 1×10−4 to 1x10−1/s−1 and temperatures ranging from 350 to 500°C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of friction stir processing on the superplastic properties of three CC 5083 aluminum alloys, with different Mn content, has been investigated, and very fine microstructures with grain sizes less than 3μm were obtained.
