Optimum conditions for microstructural control in industrial hot working of cast and homogenized AZ31 magnesium alloys are evaluated by using a processing map. The recommended window for bulk metal working of this alloy is the domain in the temperature range 300–450 °C and strain rate range 1–10 s −1 , and the optimum processing parameters are 400 °C and 10 s −1 , where grain‐boundary self diffusion is the rate‐controlling mechanism.
