Abstract
In response to the growing demand for high-performance magnesium alloys in the aerospace and transportation industries, researchers conducted a study on the AZ80 magnesium alloy. The primary objective was to achieve a nanocrystalline structure in the alloy through severe plastic deformation using low-strain multi-directional compression at room temperature. Subsequently, an aging treatment was performed to induce the transformation of the structure into a stable state. The study aimed to investigate the morphology and mode of the second phase precipitation in the magnesium alloy after undergoing severe plastic deformation. The research findings revealed that the application of multi-directional and multi-pass compression during room temperature deformation of the magnesium alloy effectively prevented instability and fracture. Moreover, this process facilitated the accumulation of larger true strain. As the number of compression passes increased, deformation twins became increasingly denser, particularly in the intersecting areas. Consequently, ultrafine high-angle grain structures were preferentially formed in these regions. Furthermore, the number of fine-grained areas gradually increased with each deformation pass. After ΣΔε 5.12, the grain size was refined to a range of 100–200 nm. Additionally, the aging treatment following severe plastic deformation brought about a significant change in the traditional lamellar precipitation mode of the second phase Mg17Al12 in the magnesium alloy. Instead, spherical precipitation occurred.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
