Ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) was applied to hot-rolled Mg-Li alloys (LAE361 and LA106). The microstructure, mechanical properties, deformation mechanisms, and corrosion resistance properties of these alloys after UNSM treatment were systematically studied. Significant improvement in surface hardness and decrease in surface roughness were achieved by UNSM treatment. Meanwhile, the basal texture intensity of the Mg-Li alloys reduced significantly, and several deformation twins appeared on the surface layer. The α phase of the surface layer underwent twin deformation and basal plane slip. The fibre textures in the β phase of LA106 Mg-Li alloy changed from γ and η to α and ε, which mainly resulted in the dislocation slip. More importantly, UNSM treatment exhibited enhanced strength and improved plasticity of LAE361 and LA106 Mg-Li alloys. The corrosion current density of LAE361 Mg-Li alloy reduced approximately 29.3% by UNSM treatment, while it increased the corrosion current density of LA106 Mg-Li alloy by 189.7%. These studies show that the application of UNSM to improve the corrosion resistance of duplex phases of LA106 Mg-Li alloy needs further investigation.
