Quasi-superplasticity in an Mg–Li–Al–Y alloy processed by rolling by Furong Cao, Bijin Zhou, Panning Xu, Guangming Xu

“…Mechanical properties tests showed that the maximum elongation of 265.8% was achieved at 623 K and 5.0 × 10−4 s−1 Microstructural examination found that the tensile alloy is composed of α-Mg + β–Li dual-phase banded grains under high strain rate condition, which disappears when the strain rate decreases and the temperature increases. Continuous dynamic recrystallization occurs at 473 and 523 K while dynamic grain growth occurs at 573 and 623 K under the other strain rates. …”
