The rotary forging is performed at 475°C to the total drawing ratio μ = 2.5 or 4.5 either after preliminary intermediate two-stage homogenizing annealing or without it. For all treatments, the alloy structure is found to consist of magnesium solid-solution grains containing lamellar LPSO phase inclusions and a block LPSO phase extended along the deformation direction. The average grain size of the alloy in the initial hot-extruded state is ~ 8 μm; after intermediate homogenizing annealing, it is ~30 μm and, after subsequent rotary forging, whatever the degree of strain, the average grain size is ~15 μm. As a result of prolonged aging heat treatment (for up to 192 h), the alloy undergoes strengthening owing to the decomposition of the supersaturated magnesium solid solution; however, the strengthening effect observed after rotary forging is less pronounced as compared to that observed for the hot-extruded and subsequently annealed state. As is shown, the two-stage homogenizing annealing of the hot-extruded alloy does not change its strength and plasticity characteristics. Under these conditions, the alloy exhibits an ultimate tensile strength (σ<sub>u</sub>) of 270–290 MPa, a 0.2 offset yield strength (σ<sub>0.2</sub>) of 200–210 MPa, and an elongation (δ) of ~18.5%. The rotary forging increases the strength of the hot-extruded alloy to σ<sub>u</sub> ≈ 420 MPa and σ<sub>0.2</sub> ≈ 360 MPa, whereas, after homogenizing annealing, they reach 380 and 330 MPa, respectively. As the degree of strain during rotary forging increases, the plasticity of the hot-extruded alloy decreases to δ ≈ 7%; in this case, whatever, the degree of strain, the two-stage homogenizing annealing favors maintaining the alloy plasticity after rotary forging.
