Abstract: In order to improve the low performance of AS series wrought magnesium alloy due to the coarse and uneven distribution of the second phase, the extruded Mg-4Al-1Si-1Gd alloys were treated by isothermal aging at 200 °C for 5 h, 10 h and 15 h respectively and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), the microstructure and tensile properties were analyzed by optical microscope, scanning microscope and tensile test. The results show that with the extension of the isothermal aging time, the grain size increases, and a small amount of large-scale Mg17Al12 phase is precipitated at the grain boundaries. After aging for 10 h, the tensile properties of the alloy at room temperature were better, but the strength and plasticity of the alloy were obviously lower than that of extruded state. The thermal deformation energy and strain accumulation provided by deformable aging promote the full progress of dynamic recrystallization. The grain size was reduced from 10.68 μm in the extruded state to 2.20 μm. The Mg2Si and Si3Gd5 phases were fragmented completely and distributed more uniformly, a large number of granular Mg17Al12 phases were precipitated at the grain boundary, the basic plane texture was weakened obviously, and a new non-basic plane texture component was formed. The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of Mg17Al12 were increased by 11.7%, 33.7% and 19.9%, respectively. The contribution of fine grain strengthening to yield strength was 42.8 MPa, and that of Orowan strengthening was 4.25 MPa.
