The effects of Ce, Y and Gd additions on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical
properties of Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy were investigated and compared by using optical and …

Abstract Ca single or Ca–Ce double microalloying Mg–Zn alloy was cast and extruded in the
present study. The combined addition of Ca and Ce improved the mechanical properties of …

This work explored the effect of Cu addition on the microstructure characteristics and tensile
properties of as-extruded Mg–8Sn–2Zn alloys. Results indicated that adding Cu caused the …

Microstructural evolution and resulting mechanical properties in Mg–2MM–2Sn–X (X= Al
and/or Zn) alloys have been investigated. The specimens were fabricated by hot-rolling. The …

Due to the lack of secondary phases, low-alloyed Mg–Al series alloys usually exhibit low
strength. In this work, by the addition of Ca element, a microstructure consists of a large …

High strength-ductility synergy Mg–5Al–1Mn-0.5 Zn-xCa (x= 0.5, 1 and 2, in wt.%) alloys
without rare earth elements were prepared by conventional extrusion at 360° C with an …

The effects of yttrium (Y) addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-
cast Mg-5Sn-3Zn have been investigated. Results indicate that the addition of Y to Mg-5Sn …

The effects of Sn addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast, as
rolled and subsequent isothermal annealed Mg–4Zn alloys are investigated. Tensile and …

Effects of minor Ca addition (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mass%) on microstructure and mechanical
properties of the as-cast and the as-rolled Mg–4.5 Zn–4.5 Sn–2Al-based alloy system are …

Abstract Mg-0.5 Sn-(0, 0.3 wt%) Y alloys were obtained by casting with a metal mould, then
extruded to acquire the as-extruded sheets. The microstructures, and mechanical properties …
