The Al-Mg alloy with high Mg addition (Al-9.2Mg-0.8Mn-0.2Zr-0.15Ti, in wt.%) was subjected to different passes (1, 2 and 4) of high strain rate rolling (HSRR), with the total thickness reduction of 72%, the rolling temperature of 400 °C and strain rate of 8.6 s^-1. The microstructure evolution was studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The alloy that undergoes 2 passes of HSRR exhibits an obvious bimodal grain structure, in which the average grain sizes of the fine dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grains and the coarse non-DRX regions are 6.4 and 47.7 mm, respectively. The high strength ((507±9) MPa) and the large ductility ((24.9±1.3)%) are obtained in the alloy containing the bimodal grain distribution. The discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) mechanism is the prominent grain refinement mechanism in the alloy subjected to 2 passes of HSRR.
