In this paper, the evolution of temperature and thermal stresses were examined during friction stir processing of a magnesium alloy using in situ neutron diffraction. Measured total lattice strains were de-convoluted into the thermal and stress components. Finally, it shows the maximum temperature of 464 °C and compressive stress distributions up to -52 MPa underneath the tool via the thermo-mechanical deformation in terms of the Zener-Hollomon parameter of 4.51 × 1010 s-1.
