Effects of homogenization on structure property relations of an indirect extruded ZE20 Mg alloy

<p>The effect of billet homogenization on final grain size and texture along with mechanical properties after indirect extrusion of a ZE20 magnesium (Mg) alloy were studied. As-cast and homogenized ZE20 billets were indirectly extruded at 454 degrees C. and an extrusion ratio of 25. Electron b...
