Precipitation strengthening is crucial for Mg-RE alloys to achieve excellent mechanical
properties. Herein, the high-strength Mg-6Gd-2Y-1.5 Ag-1Nd-0.4 Zn-0.5 Zr alloy was …

Abstract Mg-Gd and Mg-Y are two fundamental Mg alloy systems. Four alloys with a equi-
concentration of total alloying elements: Mg-2.8 Gd-0.1 Zr (at%), Mg-2.4 Gd-0.4 Ag-0.1 Zr …

We developed a high strength Mg–1 wt.% Ca binary alloy by an integrated method
comprising of conventional casting, homogenization and indirect extrusion. The as-extruded …

The role of Mn existence types on microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Mg-
2.0 Zn-1.5 Mn magnesium alloy is investigated. Four different Mn existence types in Mg-2.0 …

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–Zn-0.5 Ca-0.5 RE magnesium alloy,
with zinc contents of 0, 2, 4, and 6 wt%, were studied. A significant effect of Ca and rare earth …

High strength cast Mg-RE (magnesium-rare earth) alloys usually show a poor balance
between strength and ductility, typically high strength with low ductility. Grain coarsening …

Low absolute strength becomes one major obstacle for the wider applications of low/no rare-
earth (RE) containing Mg alloys. This review firstly demonstrates the importance of grain …

The effects of Mn addition and the volume fraction of X-phase on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of the Mg–Zn–Y–Mn alloys with a Zn/Y ratio (at%) of approximately …

The effect of Zr addition on microstructures and their evolution during heat treatments of a
Mg-Nd-Zn alloy was studied using various electron microscopy techniques. The addition of …

The effects of Nd addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties at elevated
temperatures of a Mg–0.3 Zn–0.32 Zr alloy were investigated in this study. The grain sizes of …
