ZK60 magnesium alloy sheets with 0.65 mm thickness were successfully fabricated by twin roll casting (TRC) and subsequent hot rolling process. Fine equiaxed grains were obtained after T6 treatment by the short-term TRC and hot rolling process, and the grain size for different reduction ratio per pass was similar. The studied sheets exhibited high strength and elongation, and the tensile strength, yield strengths, and elongation for the 10% and 30% reduction per pass were above 400 MPa, 300 MPa, and 17.0 %, respectively. The damping capacity values at low strain decreased with increasing the reduction ration per pass and the values at high strain were similar for the different reduction ration per pass. The lower reduction ratio per pass and the heat treatment between rolling passes can improve the mobility of dislocations, which indicated that this process was beneficial for improving damping capacity. Compared with higher reduction ratio per pass, the high tensile properties and damping capacity were obtained by 10% reduction per pass hot rolling process.
