A strategy is proposed to enhance the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–Zn
alloys by combining microalloying additions of the rare earth element Ce and the non-rare …

High-temperature solid-solution is indispensable for bake-hardenable dilute Mg alloys,
which generally induces grain coarsening. Herein, we report extraordinary thermal stability …

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 …

Currently, the hierarchical structure is one of the most effective means to enhance the
strength and plasticity of metal materials, since the strain localization can be effectively …

The effect of Ti addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Mg-Gd-Y-Zn
alloys was investigated. Ti exhibited a refinement effect comparable to that of Zr in the as …

In the present study, the comprehensive effects of Ce addition and pre-twining deformation
on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg-1.0 Sn-0.5 Zn alloys were …

A dispersion of Guinier Preston (GP) zones yields attractive mechanical properties in
wrought magnesium alloys. However, the precipitation of GP zones has been reported in a …

Abstract For ultralight Mg–Li alloys, the improvement of their strength is the most concerned
issue. Here we have successfully realized the incredible enhancement of strength in a Mg …

In the paper, the effects of Gd addition on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical
properties of the Mg–3Sn–2Ca magnesium alloy were investigated. The results indicate that …

The effects of Zr and Mn additions to Mg-15Gd-1Zn alloy on the formation of long period
stacking ordered (LPSO) structure under solution-treated (T4-treated) condition and the …
