As the lightest metallic structural materials with excellent damping capacity, good castability,
and high specific strength, Mg alloys have huge potential for application in many industries …

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 …

Grain refinement can significantly enhance the strength of metallic materials, but usually at
the sacrifice of ductility. Here we report that refinement of magnesium grains can not only …

In this study, the AZ31 Mg alloy sheets were fabricated by the traditional process of air
cooling after rolling and a new process of cryogenic treatment after rolling. The effect of …

In this study, a composite deformation strategy of pre-kinking (equal channel angular
pressing (ECAP)) followed by large-ratio hot extrusion (HE) was designed to refine the 18R …

The as-cast rare earth magnesium alloy is extremely difficult to be rolled due to poor
plasticity. In this paper, the rolled rare earth magnesium alloy thin sheet was successfully …

Wrought magnesium alloys with high-strength and high-ductility property have been
attracting more and more interest in automotive and aerospace industries, and the …

Adjacent grains slip transfer is an important mechanism for metal adaptation to
incompatibilities in intergranular deformation. Thus, this paper investigates slip transmission …

The deformation mechanisms of an extruded Mg-5Y-0.08 Ca (wt.%) alloy were analyzed by
means of micropillar compression tests on single crystals along different orientations …

The influence of alloying elements, grain size and orientation on biocorrosion resistance of
Mg-2.1 Nd-0.2 Zn-0.5 Zr (wt.%) were studied by immersion, electrochemical and quasi-in …
