The rebar matrix consists of the lamellar ferrite/bainite dual phases with the lamellar interfaces along the rolling direction. The soft ferrite phase is composed of larger grains with a low dislocation density, while the hard bainite phase is composed of finer grains with a much higher dislocation density. By comparing the strain hardening behavior from different sites at the rebar with varying ferrite and bainite volume fractions, it shows that the hetero-deformation induced (HDI) hardening is strong and dominates the overall work hardening behavior in the early stage of plastic deformation by prevailing over the conventional sum-up of contribution of each phase alone. In this stage, the plastic deformation of ferrite was constrained by the disproportionally-strained, neighboring bainite, creating the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) at the phase interface and the long-range HDI stress. The results also reinforce the understanding of deformation behavior of dual-phase steels, especially around the role of HDI stress and hardening.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY-JMR&T}, author={Song, Dan and Wang, Guowei and Yang, Falin and Chen, Huande and Liang, Ningning and Ma, Han and Jiang, Jinghua and Ma, Xiaolong}, year={2020}, pages={12281–12292} }

Herein, processing route combining equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and water annealing to achieve simultaneous improvements on both anti-corrosion and mechanical performances of a Mg-2Zn-Mn-Ca-Ce alloy is proposed. The cast alloy was ECAP-processed at 573 k for 12 passes to obtain ultra-fine grains (UFG), followed by water annealing in the autoclave under 160 °C for 3 h. The treated sample exhibits significantly improved corrosion resistance, presenting less corrosion current density and hydrogen evolution rate in the Hanks' solution. The doubled yield/ultimate strength and elongation, as well as the better-maintained mechanical integrity after corrosion, were achieved simultaneously. The profuse dislocations and grain boundaries in the UFG substrate offer intensive hydrothermal-reaction driving force, favoring the formation of a thicker and more compact Mg(OH)2 coating layer. Such a protective coating layer together with the annealed substrate with fewer crystal defects effectively retards the corrosion degradation and preserves the mechanical integrity afterwards. Meanwhile, the modified heterogeneous substrate microstructure results in the observed superior strength-ductility synergy. The proposed processing route and the resulted comprehensive properties should be applicable to other magnesium alloys as well.}, journal={MATERIALS & DESIGN}, author={Song, Dan and Li, Cheng and Liang, Ningning and Yang, Falin and Jiang, Jinghua and Sun, Jiapeng and Wu, Guosong and Ma, Aibin and Ma, Xiaolong}, year={2019}, month={Mar} }

Influence of ECAP pass number on its microstructure change and corrosion behavior was investigated by optical microscope (OM)/scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and potentiostatic polarization tests in aqueous solution of NaCl, respectively. The results showed that ultrafine equiaxial grains (about 2.5 μm) were obtained over 16 passes due to plastic-induced grain refinement accommodated by dynamic recrystallization. The lower corrosion current density and nobler corrosion potential correlated with large number of pressing passes were attributed to the low tendency toward localized corrosion with broken secondary phase after homogenization on ultrafine-grained Mg matrix. The multi-pass ECAP method made the ZE41A aeronautic magnesium alloy more attractive since severe plastic deformation may significantly improve its corrosion resistance besides superior mechanical properties.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Rare Earths}, author={Jiang, J.
