Zr (wt%) alloys, also denoted as ZK60, containing minor Nd additions by 0.2 and 0.5 wt …

The current focus of research in Mg alloys is to develop wrought Mg‒based alloys suitable
for automotive applications. The challenges to be overcome are low strength, poor ductility …

Abstract Influence of 1.5 wt% Nd addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of
the as-extruded Mg− 6.0 Zn–0.5 Zr (ZK60) alloy was studied. The results illustrate that Nd …

Magnesium alloys are preferred for applications requiring lightweight, high specific strength,
and stiffness since magnesium is the lightest of all structural metals with a density of 1.74 …

The microstructures and tensile properties of Mg–6.0 Zn–0.6 Zr (ZK60) and ZK60+ 1.8 Gd
(ZEK620 (RE= Gd)) alloys extruded at 290, 305, 320, 340 and 360° C were investigated …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have gained a considerable attention from automobile and
aerospace industries due to their low density (1.74 g/cm3), good weldability, high specific …

In this work, the casting process under mechanical agitation in the semi-solid state was
investigated for the production of ZK60 magnesium alloy modified with the addition of 2.5 …
