Effect of Plastic Deformation on the Structure and Properties of Alloy IMV7-1 of the Mg – Y – Gd – Zr System

The microstructure and strength properties of hot-pressed alloy IMV7-1 of the Mg – Y – Gd – Zr system are studied after additional cold and hot rolling deformation. It is shown that the strength properties of the pressed alloy can be elevated by cold deformation at an admissible level of ductility.
