The low-density magnesium (Mg) alloys are attractive for the application in aerospace,
transportation and other weight-saving-required fields. The mechanical properties and …

The remarkably high strength of nanocrystalline metals is of great interest to researchers
and seems to open up many interesting design applications. However, a particularly vexing …

This work investigates the strain-dependent activation of second-order< c+ a> pyramidal slip
and other non-basal systems with increasing tensile strain in a Mg-Zn alloy. With that …

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 …

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 …

A high-throughput methodology is proposed, based on the combination of diffusion couples
and advanced nanomechanical testing methods, to directly measure alloying effects on the …

Abstract A low-alloyed Mg-1.2 Zn-0.1 Ca (wt.%) alloy was fabricated via low-temperature
extrusion and annealing at 250° C for different times (10, 30, and 90 min) to attain …

Simultaneously improving the yield strength (YS) and formability at room temperature of
magnesium (Mg) alloys is one of the key issues to broaden the application further. In this …

This work investigates the origin of the simultaneous increase in strength and ductility that
takes place in Mg polycrystals alloyed with Al and Zn solutes. With that purpose, twelve …

Low ductility and strength are major bottlenecks against Mg alloys' wide applications. In this
work, we systematically design the composition and fabrication process for a low-alloyed Mg …
