Abstract

Chips produced by turning a commercial purity magnesium billet were cold compacted and then hot extruded at four different temperatures: 250, 300, 350, and 400 °C. Cast billets, of identical composition, were also extruded as reference material. Chip boundaries, visible even after 49:1 extrusion at 400 °C, were observed to suppress grain coarsening. Although 250 °C extruded chip-consolidated product showed early onset of yielding and lower ductility, fully dense material (extruded at 400 °C) had nearly 40% reduction in grain size with 22% higher yield strength and comparable ductility as that of the reference. The study highlights the role of densification and grain refinement on the compression behavior of chip consolidated specimens.
