Indentation test using a cylindrical indenter with a flat end is now known as impression test.
The advantage is its capability to reach a steady state for creep test at constant load and it is …

A new high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) Mg–4Al–3La–1Ca–0.3 Mn (ALaX431) alloy with high
strength has successfully been fabricated. This HPDC alloy in peak-aged state exhibits …

The effect of Zn addition on the mechanical properties in Mg-rare earth (RE) alloys has been
controversial. In this study, we selected the as-cast Mg-15Gd (wt.%) alloy as a model system …

The effects of Ca and/or Bi additions on the microstructural modification and creep
characteristics of the squeeze-cast AZ91 alloy have been addressed. Both the single as well …

The magnesium alloy LAE442 was processed by extrusion and equal channel angular
pressing (ECAP) to achieve ultrafine grained microstructure. Detailed characterization of the …

Microstructures and tensile properties of a high-pressure die-cast Mg–4Al–2RE–2Ca based
alloy were thoroughly investigated. The results indicate that the combinative addition of Ca …

Rheo-diecasting with high solid fraction is a new die casting process developed in recent
years. In order to promote the application of this process in magnesium alloys, taking the test …

The excellent comprehensive properties of Al-La binary alloy are mainly due to the stable
distribution of Al-La intermetallic compounds in the microstructure. In this work, first-principle …

Nano-alumina reinforced AS41 magnesium alloy matrix composites with 2 wt% and 5 wt%
Al 2 O 3 were fabricated by combined stir casting and ultrasonic processing in order to …

The low-cycle fatigue test and the compression creep-fatigue test of the cast Al-9Si-CuMg
alloy for cylinder heads were carried out at high temperature. The cyclic mechanical …
