Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, is approximately four times lighter than steel—the
most widely used metal in industrial applications. Currently available Mg alloys, however …

Dislocation cores, the regions in the immediate vicinity of dislocation lines, control a number
of properties such as dislocation mobility, cross-slip and short-range interactions with other …

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 …

Pure magnesium (Mg) develops a strong basal texture after conventional processing of hot
rolling or extrusion. Consequently, it exhibits anisotropic mechanical properties and is …

Lightweight magnesium alloys are attractive as structural materials for improving energy
efficiency in applications such as weight reduction of transportation vehicles. One major …

Developing ultra-high strength in rare-earth-free Mg alloys using conventional extrusion
process is a great challenge. What is even more difficult is to achieve such a goal at a lower …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys with low concentrations of rare earth additions are known to exhibit
strengths and ductility that are significantly higher than those obtained in traditional Mg …

We investigated the effect of rare-earth element on recrystallization textures using Mg-Ce
and Mg-Gd binary alloys at various concentrations of Ce and Gd, and employing electron …

Metals are the backbone of manufacturing owing to their strength and formability. Compared
to polymers they have high mass density. There is, however, one exception: magnesium. It …

Due to the insufficient slip systems, Mg and its alloys exhibit poor ductility during plastic
deformation at room temperature. To solve this problem, alloying is considered as a most …
