Abstract
Superplasticity in a doubly extruded magnesium based composite, ZK60 reinforced with 17 vol.-%SiC particles, was investigated. The influences of strain rate on the flow stress and elongation in the composite were characterised. It was found that the composite exhibited superplasticity (elongation > 400%) at high strain rates (∼ 0.1 s−1). In addition, the material showed a high strain rate sensitivity of 0.5 and an activation energy of 81 kJ mol−1 in the superplastic region. Based upon these results, it was proposed that the dominant deformation mechanism is grain boundary sliding accommodated by a grain boundary diffusion process. A comparison of the superplastic behaviour was also made between the doubly extruded and singly extruded composites.

Review Processing and mechanical properties of fine-grained magnesium alloys

TL;DR: In this article, fine-grained magnesium-based materials with high strength and high ductility at room temperature are obtained by grain refinement, and a very small grain size of less than 1 μm is obtained by equal channel angular extrusion.

Superplasticity in thin magnesium alloy sheets and deformation mechanism maps for magnesium alloys at elevated temperatures

TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation mechanism maps for face-centered cubic and bodycentered cubic metals were reviewed and found to be deficient in predicting deformation behavior of magnesium alloys with hexagonal close-packed crystal structure.

Diffusion-accommodated flow and superplasticity

TL;DR: In this article, a new mechanism for superplastic deformation is described and modelled, which differs fundamentally from Nabarro-Herring and Coble creep in a topological sense: grains switch their neighbors and do not elongate significantly.

High temperature creep of Ni-20Cr-2ThO2 single crystals

TL;DR: The high temperature creep properties of single crystals of Ni-20Cr-2ThO 2 have been investigated in the temperature range 650-1300°C in this article, where single crystal tensile specimens were cut from plates having a large elongated grain structure and constant stress vacuum creep tests were conducted at various stresses and temperatures.

Interpretation of superplastic flow in terms of a threshold stress

TL;DR: In this paper, a sigmoidal relationship between stress and strain rate is noted and the mechanical behavior has been divided into three regions: low-stress region (region I), intermediatestress region (the superplastic region or region II), and high-stress region(region III).
