| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium alloys have shown enhanced properties when process through approaches where the liquid phase is avoided, i.e. solid phase processing (SPP). Technologies include methods such as friction stir processing /welding, friction extrusion, cold spray, shear assisted processing and extrusion (ShAPE) and others. This talk will present unique aspects of deformation and microstructural evolution that occur during SPP events, with a specific eye towards mechanisms promoting pathways to metastable states with enhanced properties. |
