It has recently been found that Mg97Zn1Y2 extruded alloy containing a long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase has superior mechanical properties. In this study, the high-temperature deformation mechanism of the Mg97Zn1Y2 extruded alloy was examined. Grain-boundary strengthening due to the refined Mg-matrix phase and fiber-like reinforcement due to the LPSO phase dominantly contribute to the strengthening of the alloy at room temperature, and they were confirmed to effectively act even at 200 degrees C. As a result, the extremely high strength of the alloy is maintained up to 200 degrees C, unlike other conventional Mg alloys. At 300 degrees C, however, the yield stress of the Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy largely decreases, and the orientation and the grain size dependence of the yield stress become weak. Increases in the operation frequency of non-basal slip in the Mg-matrix grains weaken the grain-boundary strengthening effect. In addition, the effect of fiber-like reinforcement due to the LPSO phase is also weakened at 300 degrees C because the window of microstructure suitable for inducing this effect becomes significantly narrow at this temperature.
