The statistical distribution of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and compression strength
(UCS) values of the cast B 4 C containing Mg matrix composite and its matrix alloy (AZ91) …

Microstructure, hardness and biocorrosion properties of ZXM220–x Sr alloys (x= 0, 0.2, 0.4,
0.8 and 1 wt%) were investigated, and the results were compared with each other …

Magnesium and its alloys are extremely susceptible to oxidation and fire due to their
reactivity with oxygen. Therefore, special care should be taken while melting them. In this …

The main objective of the present research is to develop a technique to inhibit the mould–
metal interaction in the investment casting of magnesium (Mg) alloys. The use of yttria layers …

In this paper, microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ61 magnesium alloys with the
Y and Ca combined addition were investigated. The results exhibit that the addition of Y and …

Mg–Al alloys were inoculated by MgO powder. The effects of MgO addition amount, holding
time after MgO addition and Al content on the grain refining efficiency were systematically …

The present investigations were carried out on experimentally prepared AM50A and AZ91D
alloys. The main thrust was the application of the Brightimeter technique in quantifying the …

The addition of rare earth elements has a strong purification ability because it reduces the
number of inclusions with size greater than 10 µ m in rare earth magnesium alloys …

In the last years, magnesium and its alloys have been the focus of many studies in both
academic and industrial fields. The mechanical properties of this material, due to its metallic …
