Abstract Influences of Zn, Ca, and their synergistic additions on the microstructures, tensile
properties, and strain hardening behaviors of extruded Mg-1Gd alloy sheets were …

The effects of Mn addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–Zn–Sn
alloys have been investigated by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning …

Mg and its alloys have been extensively used in many fields given their low density and
extensive resources. However, their strength and plasticity cannot satisfy the requirements of …

Nanostructured materials prepared by severe plastic deformation processing were puzzled
by the trade-off between strength and ductility. With the synergy of boundary engineering …

Abstract The effect of Ce/La misch metal addition on the microstructural evolution of as-cast
and as-soluted Mg-5.3 Zn-0.5 Ca (wt.%) alloys was systematically investigated. It was found …

Abstract High performance Mg-8.2 Gd-3.8 Y-1.0 Zn-0.4 Zr alloy with high strength and
excellent ductility has been successfully developed by hot extrusion. The effect of plate …

A newly developed Mg-2Gd-0.5 Zr-x Zn (x= 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 wt%) alloy system exhibits
significant strengthening by doping with Zn. In order to understand the strengthening …

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 …

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 …

The role of Mn existence types on microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Mg-
2.0 Zn-1.5 Mn magnesium alloy is investigated. Four different Mn existence types in Mg-2.0 …
