The results showed that the extruded-PA sample demonstrated a favorable combination of tensile strength (426 MPa) and ductility (7.0 %). Although intergranular microcracks nucleated in the DRXed region due to strain incompatibility, crack propagation was impeded by the DRXed fine grains, inducing intrinsic and extrinsic toughening mechanisms. On the other hand, the hot-worked grains in the extruded-PA sample initiated transgranular cracks after a relatively high strain, attributed to the strain partitioning effect, ultimately leading to failure. In comparison, the solution-treated-PA sample exhibited lower tensile strength and ductility (338 MPa and 3.7 %, respectively). Intergranular cracks nucleated in the CG sample before necking, and the readily formed critical crack, facilitated by the large grain size, exhibited unstable crack growth, resulting in premature failure.

Conventional predictive methods such as the Coffin-Manson equation require manual parameter adjustment for different conditions, thus limiting their applicability. Accordingly, a novel predictive model for low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life that combines machine learning (ML) with an energy-based physical model, referred to as the hybrid ML/E model, is proposed herein. The hybrid ML/E model leverages a substantial hysteresis-loop dataset generated from LCF tests on a rolled AZ31 Mg alloy to effectively predict fatigue life. The proposed approach addresses the inherent challenges of small fatigue datasets, hysteresis-loop perception, and algorithm selection. The hybrid ML/E model demonstrates superior predictive accuracy and robustness in various loading directions, based on validation against conventional methods.
