The invention provides a differential-speed 
extrusion forming method of a 
magnesium alloy high performance cup-shaped piece and relates to the technical field of 
metal and plastic 
machining and forming. A combined concave die is adopted and comprises a T-shaped upper concave die body and a U-shaped lower concave die body. The T-shaped upper concave die body is internally provided with a cylindrical cavity and installed on the U-shaped lower concave die body, and the section of a formed revolved cavity is shaped like a Chinese character 'shan'. Staggered 'ladder' type differential-speed 
extrusion steps are adopted for the bottom of the 
extrusion cavity shaped like the Chinese character 'shan'. Three stages of deformation are conducted, the first stage is the axial similar cylinder 
pier coarse deformation stage, the second stage is the radial extrusion 
large deformation stage, and the third stage is the corner extrusion and 
shearing deformation stage. The extrusion cavity shaped like the Chinese character 'shan' and the staggered 'ladder' type differential-speed extrusion steps at the cavity bottom are adopted for extruding the 
magnesium alloy high performance cup-shaped piece, the 
magnesium alloy material forming capacity is greatly improved, a high-density structure is obtained, great plastic deformation is obtained, the grain refining effect is remarkable, the effect of eliminating grain dual-mode distribution of the 
barrel wall of the cup-shaped piece is obvious, and the fabrication procedure of the high performance 
magnesium alloy cup-shaped piece is shortened.
