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 …

Interfacial segregation has been reported to play a critical role in the thermal-mechanical
stability of nanocrystalline Mg alloys. Here we report Ag-segregation-assisted formation of …

Difficult to effectively densify in a short time is an important issue that limits the application of
magnesium (Mg) alloy fabricated by binder jetting additive manufacturing (AM) process. In …

Nowadays, the improvement of workability and strength of Mg has received increasing
attention. Rare earth elements have shown great potential in refining grains, weakening …

Thermal deformation is widely used in manufacture of TC4 alloys to improve their
mechanical properties. In this work, we find an interesting phenomenon induced by …

The evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of the dilute Mg–Gd alloy with Mn
modification were investigated systematically in this paper. The results show that the …

Rare-earth-containing Mg alloys are a group of widely investigated alloys due to the
disperse nano-sized precipitations formed during heat treatment. The underlying formation …

Abstract The Mg–9Al–5Sn− x Sb (x= 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5 wt%) alloys were prepared by a
simple alloying process followed by hot extrusion with an extrusion ratio of 28.2. The effects …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is a very attractive research field for metallic materials
because it provides new possibilities for manufacturing nanostructured materials in large …
