The effect of calcium content on the microstructure and subsequent mechanical properties of
ZK60 magnesium alloy in the cast and extruded conditions were precisely studied. Alloys …

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 …

Constructing bimodal grain structure is a promising approach to achieve the high strength-
ductility synergy in Mg alloy. Formation of bimodal grain is closely related to the dynamic …

The effect of precipitates on fracture behaviors was comparatively investigated among three
kinds of Mg alloys with different precipitates, ie, Mg-Gd alloy with prismatic plate-shaped …

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 …

The formation conditions and influence mechanisms of the heterogeneous bimodal
microstructure of Mg-9.8 Gd-3.5 Y-2.0 Zn-0.4 Zr alloy were systematically studied by thermal …

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 …

Micro-alloying magnesium (Mg) alloys by rare earth elements is an efficient method for
enhancing their mechanical properties. This work adds minor Yb (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 wt%) into Mg …

Abstract An ultrahigh strength Mg-10Gd-4Y-1.5 Zn-0.5 Zr alloy was prepared by the
combined process of extrusion, pack-forging and aging treatment. The resultant alloy …

Abstract Microalloying additions to Mg-Zn base alloys can refine precipitation and improve
hardening, but their effect on the microstructure at the grain boundary regions are seldom …
