%X In this study hydrostatic extrusion, as a quite rarely applied technique, is used for deformation of commercial magnesium alloys at 100°C which is significantly below the temperature necessary for activation of new gliding systems. All experiments were carried out using typical industrial extrusion parameters like extrusion rate and extrusion ratio but with the objective to obtain extremely fine grained materials as received typically from ECAE processing. These experiments show that the processing of magnesium alloys is possible even at temperature at 100°C. Limitations of this processing and the influence of process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded profiles will be discussed.
