The present study validates the previously reported investigations about segregation of rare- earth (RE) elements at grain boundaries in Mg–RE alloys and ultimately provides a direct …

Magnesium alloys that contain certain rare-earth (RE) additions are known to have improved formability and this can be partly attributed to the different texture they display after …
The alloy Mg–1.5 Gd has been extruded at different temperatures to produce two significantly different textures. At lower extrusion temperatures there was significant solute …
The origin of texture components often associated with rare-earth element (REE) additions in wrought magnesium alloys is a long-standing problem in magnesium technology. While …
Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, is approximately four times lighter than steel—the most widely used metal in industrial applications. Currently available Mg alloys, however …
Abstract Two Mg alloys, Mg–1Zn–1Ce–0.6 Zr and Mg–1Zn–1Gd–0.6 Zr (wt.%), were subjected to large strain hot rolling treatment, followed by annealing at different …

Wrought magnesium alloys are rarely used due to their poor formability which is caused by strong textures created during processing. Addition of rare earth (RE) elements including Y …
Alloying additions in magnesium can modify common basal textures during recrystallization based on their solid solubility and precipitation behavior. With a variety of tenable theories in …
A trace of beryllium can lead to dramatic grain coarsening in Mg–Al alloys at normal cooling rates. It is, however, unclear whether this effect applies to aluminium-free magnesium alloys …
