Abstract
The present work demonstrates that accumulative roll bonding (ARB) combined with controlled annealing can achieve an exceptional strength-ductility balance in dilute Mg-Zn-Y-Ca alloys, i.e., a Mg-1.8Zn-0.3Y-0.3Ca (wt%) alloy processed by ARB and subsequent annealing at 300 °C for 10 min develops a unique weak quadruple texture and homogeneous ultrafine-grained microstructure (average grain size: 2.3 μm). It exhibits remarkable mechanical properties with a yield strength of ∼235 MPa and uniform elongation of ∼13 %—representing a significant improvement over conventional low-alloyed MgZn alloys. Microstructural analysis reveals that this superior performance stems from the synergistic effects of grain refinement and texture modification.
