The magnesium alloy MA17 (Mg-Ce-Mn) exhibits a high strength at a reasonable ductility making this alloy well suitable for structural applications. To further improve the mechanical properties, ECAP experiments at elevated temperatures (250∘C) were carried out. For example, tensile tests at room temperature on specimens that had underwent 6 ECAP passes (route BC) revealed a significant increase in yield strength. To substitute the expensive rare earth elements, a Mg-Ca-Al alloy was investigated as well. Results of the investigation of the mechanical properties at different temperatures for both alloys are discussed and compared.
