Friction stir processing (FSP) and surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) were performed on an AZ31 magnesium alloy to improve the mechanical properties. The microstructure, macro-texture, as well as mechanical properties were investigated by optical microscopy, transmission electron microsco...
