Summary:Effects of such forging conditions as forging temperature, reduction ratio, forging numbers and metal flow of forging stocks on microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK 60A magnesium alloy were studied. The forging conditions have remarkable effects on the metal flow and mechanical properties in different manners in the longitudinal and long transverse directions. Forging at temperatures 350° to 400°C and 250°C ensure excellent mechanical properties in the longitudinal and long transverse directions respectively. Multistage forging, which includes the first stage forging at 350° to 400°C and the second stage forging at 250°C is recommended to ensure excellent mechanical properties both in longitudinal and long transverse directions.
