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 …

Mg alloys are important light structural materials and also are promising energy materials,
which support Mg-based primary batteries such as Mg–air batteries as the main …

The unusual increase in the strength by extrusion is a unique feature of recently developed
Mg alloys containing the LPSO phase. In this study, we first elucidated the detailed …

Highlights•Five initial microstructures with distinctive morphology and distribution of LPSO
phases were successfully obtained.•Systematic analysis of DRX behaviors with variations in …

Zn and its alloys are considered as a new class of biodegradable metals due to their
moderate degradation rates and acceptable biocompatibility. However, inadequate …

The combined effects of LPSO orientation and α-Mg texture on tensile anisotropy were
investigated for an extruded Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy with a typical bimodal microstructure, a …

The dislocation configuration around low-angle kink boundaries formed in bent single
crystalline long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) Mg 85 Zn 6 Y 9 alloys was investigated …

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors of a Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy were studied in this
paper. The samples were divided into two groups (# 1 and# 2) and had different …

The effect of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases on the dynamic recrystallization
(DRX) of the compressed Mg-6.9 Gd-3.2 Y-1.5 Zn-0.5 Zr (wt pct) alloy was investigated …

Abstract Development of strong and ductile lightweight magnesium (Mg) alloys has been the
subject of enormous research breakthroughs since 2000. This review describes the most …
