The method of the combining application of finite element simulation and experimental analysis was explored to investigate the variation of grain structure during the ECAP forming process of Mg alloy. The results show that the grain size of the sample in different zones reduce remarkably, following the sequence of P , P and P . Its average grain size reduces to 2.3−3.1 µm 1 2 3 from its former average size of 13.32 µm. The microstructures of the sample was observed by an metalloscope after the ECAP experiment within one pass. Its average grain size reduces from 13.32 µm to 2.2 µm. After comparing the results of finite element numerical simulation and the ones from experimental analysis, there is a good fit in grain refinement between the two.
