As the lightest structural metallic materials, Mg-Li alloys have a bright development prospect
in the fields of aerospace, weapon equipment, electronic technology and transportation. In …

In order to reduce oil consumption and avoid fossil fuel-related environmental problems,
scientists are always looking for lightweight structural materials that show high performance …

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

Addition of a small amount of Ca improves the ductility of Mg alloys. However, the
mechanism underlying this effect is not well understood. In this work, tensile testing of an …

The deformation mechanisms of an extruded Mg-5Y-0.08 Ca (wt.%) alloy were analyzed by
means of micropillar compression tests on single crystals along different orientations …

Micro-alloying design of wrought magnesium (Mg) alloys is an important strategy to achieve
high mechanical properties at a low cost. In the last two decades, significant progress has …

Multicomponent high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with compositionally disordered elemental
arrangement have attracted extensive attention because of their excellent mechanical …

Low ductility and strength are major bottlenecks against Mg alloys' wide applications. In this
work, we systematically design the composition and fabrication process for a low-alloyed Mg …

High strength cast Mg-RE (magnesium-rare earth) alloys usually show a poor balance
between strength and ductility, typically high strength with low ductility. Grain coarsening …

Mg-RE (RE= rare earth) based alloys generally exhibit outstanding mechanical properties.
However, their high-strength seems to be unexplained using classic strengthening …
