The effects of Ag on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a Mg-9Gd-3Y-1Zn-0.8
Mn alloy have been investigated. Microstructural analysis indicates that the (Mg, Zn) 3 (Gd …

The effect of trace Mn addition on the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of
the as-cast and as-extruded Mg–5.25 wt.% Zn–0.6 wt.% Ca (ZX51) alloys was investigated …

Obtaining high strength in Mg alloys generally requires a high alloying content, especially
rare earth elements. However, as a lightweight alloy, the heavy rare-earth content has a …

In order to broaden the application of wrought Mg alloy sheets in the automotive industry, the
influence of Ca and Sm alloying on the texture evolution, mechanical properties, and …

Gd in Mg-RE liquid alloy has a high solid solubility, which can rapidly decreases with the
drop of temperature. Thus the solid solution and aging reinforcement of liquid Mg alloy can …

The Sc microalloying can decrease the corrosion rates of Mg-Gd-Zn alloys by about two
orders of magnitude, and thus significantly improving corrosion resistance of Mg-Gd-Zn …

In this paper, the effects of Zr, Sc and Ce additions on the as-cast microstructure and
mechanical properties of Mg–3Sn–1Mn (wt.%) magnesium alloy were preliminarily …

In this paper, the effects of Ce, Sn and Gd additions on the as-cast microstructure and
mechanical properties of Mg–3.8 Zn–2.2 Ca (wt%) magnesium alloy are investigated and …

Grain boundary strengthening is an effective strategy for increasing mechanical properties of
Mg alloys. However, this method offers limited strengthening in bimodal grain-structured Mg …

Abstract The effect of Ca/Al ratio on microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-cast
and as-extruded Mg-Al-Ca-Mn alloys were investigated. The as-cast Mg-Al-Ca-Mn alloys …
