The highlights of major Canadian research projects of last two decades that aimed at
advancing applications of magnesium and its alloys, being at the heart of lightweighting and …

The Mg-6% Al-3% Zn and Mg-6% Al-3% Zn-(1%, 1.5%, 2%) In alloys were prepared by
melting and casting. Their microstructures were investigated via metallographic and energy …

The quasicrystal phase is beneficial to increasing the strength of magnesium alloys.
However, its complicated structure and unclear phase relations impede the design of alloys …

A combination of calculations using the FactSage software and measurements using a
number of experimental techniques was explored to assess the solidification characteristics …

The present study investigates the thixoformability of Mg-Zn-Nd alloys in the Mg-rich region.
The solidification curves of selected alloys were thermodynamically calculated using the …

The phase equilibria at 500° C of the Mg–Nd–Zn system in the region of 0–50 at.% Nd were
investigated by combining the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction …

All available phase diagram data for the La–Mg–Zn, Pr–Mg–Zn and Sm–Mg–Zn systems
have been collected and critically assessed. Critical thermodynamic evaluations and …

As an indispensable pre-treatment for aging, homogenization treatment has a significant
effect on precipitation behavior of the Mg-RE alloys. Herein, the influence of homogenization …

The microstructures and tensile properties of as-cast and as-extruded Mg–4Sm–x Zn–0.5 Zr
(x= 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 wt%) alloys were systematically investigated by optical microscope, X-ray …

All available phase diagram data for the (Nd+ Mg+ Zn) system were critically assessed. In-
situ neutron diffraction (ND) experiments were performed on selected samples to identify …
