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 …

Abstract Microstructure evolution in Mg4Zn1Nd and Mg1Zn1Nd alloys was investigated after
warm rolling and isothermal annealing. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed …

The role of alloying element segregation at grain boundary on the microstructure and
mechanical properties is investigated in the case of Ca, Ce, and Nd addition in Mg-1Zn …

Magnesia (MgO) particles inevitably exist in liquid Mg and may be used as potential sites for
heterogeneous nucleation to achieve effective grain refinement. Understanding of the …

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 …

Abstract Mg–9Al-0.7 Zn-0.9 Gd (wt%) alloy was prepared by die casting. The solid solution
amount of alloy elements was determined. The solid solution ability of alloy elements was …

The effect of Zn content on grain growth kinetics of the fine-grained extruded Mg–2Gd–xZn
(x= 0, 1, 2, 3 wt%) alloys was investigated by annealing of the as-extruded sheets in the …

The behavior of extruded Mg–Gd–Al–Zn magnesium alloys at elevated temperatures was
studied to elucidate the effect of intermetallic compounds on thermal stability, grain …

The minor alloying element Zr in a Mg–6.2 Zn–0.6 Zr (ZK60) alloy causes the formation of
fine Mg (Zn, Zr) precipitates at 350° C which play a critical role in dynamic recrystallization …

Abstract Mg-Gd-Zn alloy, which contains a long period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure,
has the potential to become a high-strength Mg alloy within the automotive and aerospace …
