Achieving ultra-high tensile yield strength over 400 MPa in RE modified Mg–Zn-based alloys
using conventional thermomechanical processing is a challenging task. In this study, we …

Microstructural evolutions and improvement of mechanical properties of ZXE21y (Mg-2Zn-
1Ca-yRE, wt%) alloys via mischmetal rare earth (RE) addition and applying …

Abstract Effects of 0.5 wt% La addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of a
traditional hot-extruded Mg–9Gd–3Y–0.5 Zr alloy were thoroughly investigated in this work …

Improving the strength of the commercial ZK60 alloys plays a key role in promoting their
wide applications. In this work, a ZK60 alloy was prepared by conventional direct extrusion …

In this study, an ultra-high yield strength (~ 417 MPa) and moderate ductility (~ 12.9%) was
obtained in Mg–8.2 Gd–3.8 Y–1.0 Zn–0.4 Zr (wt%) alloy through a method of decreased …

Obtaining high strength in low-RE-alloyed Mg alloys (RE< 6 wt%) remains a huge challenge
so far. In this work, we fabricated a novel high-strength and low-RE-alloyed Mg-3Yb-0.6 Zn …

The microstructure, dynamic recrystallization behavior and texture evolution of an as-
extruded Mg–6Zn–1Mn–0.2 Gd (ZMG610) alloy at different extrusion conditions (extrusion …

Abstract Mg-1.58 Zn-0.52 Gd (wt%) alloy was successfully extruded at high extrusion speed
of 60 m/min, suggesting the much better extrudability than commercial AZ31 alloy. After high …

Obtaining ultra-high strength in commercial ZK60 wrought alloys is rather difficult by
conventional processes due to their limited precipitation hardening. In this work, we …

In order to improve the workability and ductility of the Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy filled with
intragranular long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, the processing route of extrusion …
