This study investigates the influence of calcium (Ca) on grain boundary migration in pure
magnesium (Mg) during annealing. Pure Mg and Mg-0.5 Ca alloy samples undergo …

Grain growth directly influences the plasticity and strength of Mg alloys. As the grain size
decreases from the microscale to the nanoscale, the plasticity of Mg alloys continually …

Critical properties of metallic materials, such as the yield stress, corrosion resistance and
ductility depend on the microstructure and its grain size and size distribution. Solute atoms …

It is know from literature that small additions (< 1 wt%) of Ca, Al and Zn significantly improve
the intrinsic ductility of Mg. The exact role of each element, both qualitatively and …

Alloying additions in magnesium can modify common basal textures during recrystallization
based on their solid solubility and precipitation behavior. With a variety of tenable theories in …

In order to control the grain size in thermomechanical processing, the grain growth behavior
of hot extruded Mg–xAl–1Zn (x= 3, 6, 9) alloys and their relationship with second phase …

Abstract In Mg-Ca alloys the grain refining mechanism, in particular regarding the role of
nucleant substrates, remains the object of debates. Although native MgO is being …

This short communication concerns the dependence of thermal stability of fine grains in Mg
alloy on the Gd content. The enhanced thermal stability via increasing Gd content can be …

During deformation, dislocation movements at grain boundaries (GBs) directly affect GB
plastic behaviors, thus affecting the mechanical properties of metal materials. As common …

Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, has limited industrial application due to its poor
formability at room temperature. However, the mechanism for the effect of alloying elements …
