The formation of adiabatic shear band (ASB) and its damage behaviour in AZ31 alloy under high strain rate compression (2000 s−1) were investigated in this study by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar. Microstructure of the ASB was characterised by electron back-scattering diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the adiabatic shear damage behaviour was analysed through finite element simulation by LS-DYNA. The results show that the ASB and the surrounding microstructure form a gradient microstructure distribution, and the formation of ultra-fine grains in the ASB is due to rotational dynamic recrystallisation. The combination of work hardening and grain refinement in ASB leads to a high microhardness. Micro-voids grow in the ASB and eventually form macro-cracks, leading to material failure.
