Microstructure is one of the vital factors that determine the mechanical properties of
magnesium (Mg) alloys. However, traditional microstructure characterization methods hardly …

The open-source software project OpenPhase allows the three-dimensional simulation of
microstructural evolution using the multiphase field method. The core modules of …

Formation and characteristic corrosion resistance of alternately lamellar arranged α and β in
as-cast AZ91 Mg alloy were investigated as an independent micro-constituent identity. As …

Abstract In hypoeutectic Mg-Al-based alloys, Mg 17 Al 12 forms in the last stages of
solidification by a eutectic reaction that is usually fully or partially divorced. Here we …

The formation of thermally stable intermetallic phases plays a key role to enable high
temperature applications for Mg alloys. In the ductile Mg-Al-Ca system, Ca-rich Laves …

A model AZ91 alloy containing the same amount of Mg and Mg 17 Al 12 than a commercial
AZ91 alloy was reproduced using various strategies. These “model” materials consist of a …

In this study the partially divorced eutectic microstructure of α-Mg and β-Mg 17 Al 12 was
investigated by electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and …

The segregation of Bi phase during current stressing deteriorates the mechanical property of
Sn-58Bi solder joint. To improve the reliability of Sn-58Bi solder joint, a thorough …

A phase-field model of the void evolution is developed to investigate the vacancy-induced
Kirkendall porosity within diffusion couples under isothermal annealing conditions. This …

Fluid dynamical equations in the presence of a diffuse solid-liquid interface are investigated
via a volume averaging approach. The resulting equations exhibit the same structure as the …
