Magnesium alloys remain critical in the context of light-weighting and advanced devices.
The increased utilisation of magnesium (Mg) each year reveals growing demand for its Mg …

Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

A new low-alloyed Mg-2Sm-0.8 Mn-0.6 Ca-0.5 Zn (wt.%) alloy is prepared by low-
temperature and low-speed extrusion. The as-extruded alloy has ultra-high yield strength …

Extruded polycrystalline pure magnesium (Mg) with fine grain size (~ 1.2 µm) exhibits
ductility of over 100% at room temperature, in spite of the presence of a strong basal texture …

Poor room temperature (RT) ductility is an inherent disadvantage of magnesium (Mg) alloys,
which limits their wide application. Grain refinement is an accepted method to improve …

It is well-established that Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) alloy exhibits much better tensile ductility than
pure Mg. However, the underlying mechanisms for such difference still remain relatively …

In this study, dynamic precipitation was observed in ZK60 (Mg-6.0 Zn-0.5 Zr) alloy during low
temperature extrusion. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were …

A comprehensive investigation into the ductile fracture of an extruded magnesium alloy at
various stress states is conducted. Tension tests of the smooth and differently notched round …

Deformation twinning is necessary for achieving strain in plastically hard directions in
magnesium alloys under ambient conditions, but can also contribute to void formation and …

Micro-alloying design of wrought magnesium (Mg) alloys is an important strategy to achieve
high mechanical properties at a low cost. In the last two decades, significant progress has …
