Magnesium alloys have received an increasing interest in the past 12 years for potential
applications in the automotive, aircraft, aerospace, and electronic industries. Many of these …

High-performance cast magnesium rare-earth (Mg-RE) alloys are one of the most important
materials among all developed Mg alloy families, and have shown great potential in military …

In this work, the highest yield strength and elongation in an Mg-Y-RE-Zr alloy produced by
an additive manufacturing (AM) process is reported. A combination of a large-diameter …

Structural performance is a key challenge pertinent to additive manufacturing. A majority of
the current techniques employed for metallic materials involve liquid–solid transformation …

Magnesium (Mg) is the lightest structural metal. However, the poor formability of Mg alloys to
great extent limits their applications in making structural parts. Formability is strongly …

The effect of aging on the accumulation of microscale plasticity, and the resulting
macroscopic mechanical behavior, were examined in the magnesium alloy WE43 under …

Improvements in energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and 3R (reduce,
reuse and recycle) have been one of the central topics in recent years in environment and …

High quality WE43 magnesium alloy ingots with diameter of 500 mm are successfully
fabricated by direct-chill (DC) casting. The alloying elements distributed almost …

Microstructures and tensile mechanical properties of Mg–10Gd–6Y–2Zn–0.6 Zr alloy were
systematically studied. Four phases were found in the as-cast specimen: α-Mg, Mg3 …

The effect of cold plastic deformation by multi-directional forging prior to artificial aging
treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of WE43 alloy was investigated …
