Mg alloys are among the lightest alloys but they are usually weak. Here we report a new
mechanism to make them ultrastrong while maintaining good ductility. Stacking faults with …

Abstract Mg-Sn-Mn-based alloys exhibit great application prospect because of their high
mechanical properties and good creep resistance. The content of Mn in Mg-Sn-based alloys …

Microstructures and mechanical properties of a high-strength extruded Mg-3.5 Sm-0.6 Zn-
0.5 Zr alloy were thoroughly investigated. The results indicate that the dominant intermetallic …

Magnesium alloys containing Mg2Si particles, as a promising cheap heat-resistant
magnesium alloy for automobile engine applications, are attracting more and more attention …

Abstract The Mg–7Y–4Gd–1Zn (wt.%) alloy was prepared by hot extrusion technology, and
the microstructure, tensile properties and superplastic behavior have been investigated. The …

The high strength of most Mg-RE alloys is frequently accomplished by high RE addition, but
their high density and poor plasticity restrict their applications in the field of aerospace …

Abstract A cast Mg 97.1 Gd 1.8 Zn 1 Zr 0.1 (at.%) alloy having long period stacking ordered
(LPSO) structures was continuously processed at 375° C by equal channel angular pressing …

In this work, the effect of Gd on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg–
4Zn–0.6 Ca–xGd (x= 0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1, wt%) alloys were investigated systematically. The …

We elucidate here the impact of multiaxial forging of Mg-2Zn-2Gd alloy on grain refinement
to sub-micron regime and relate the structure to mechanical properties. As-cast and …

Here, the microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated for the designed Mg-
4Gd-0.5 Zr-xZn (x= 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt%) alloys with special emphasis on the effect of …
