Using atomistic simulations, we investigated the effects of Zn on Mg alloys to reveal the
mechanism underlying the good ductility and strong basal texture of Mg-Zn solid solutions at …

This work investigates the origin of the simultaneous increase in strength and ductility that
takes place in Mg polycrystals alloyed with Al and Zn solutes. With that purpose, twelve …

Improving room temperature ductility and formability is a bottleneck for a wide industrial
application of Mg alloys, but even the mechanism for the effect of alloying elements on the …

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 …

Low ductility and strength are major bottlenecks against Mg alloys' wide applications. In this
work, we systematically design the composition and fabrication process for a low-alloyed Mg …

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 …

In this work, we statistically studied the activation and suppression of< c+ a> dislocations in
a textured Mg–3Al–1Zn alloy after compression. Our results revealed that the activation and …

For the first time, we report here segregation of Zn atoms to twin boundaries formed under
9% compression at room temperature (RT) in a Mg-3Zn-0.5 Y (in at%) alloy. The wrought …

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 …

Mg-Y cast alloy shows excellent ductility (elongation to failure> 15%) compared with pure
Mg and commercial Mg cast alloys. By monitoring the microstructure evolution during an in …
