The effect of hot rolling on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg- 0.6Zr alloy has been investigated. The results show that the Mg-0.6Zr alloy keeps good plas- ticity while the hot roiling at 400℃ ; the alloy doesn' t crack under total deformation rate of 80% ; during hot rolling dynamic re-crystallization takes place in Mg-0. 6Zr alloy but some deformed fibre structure still existed, so the tensile strength has been inc...
