In this work, the microstructure, precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of a multi-
directional forged and age-treated Mg-8.9 Gd-1.8 Y-0.5 Zr-0.2 Ag (wt%) alloy were …

Excellent ductility and high strength were achieved in the Mg-10.6 Gd-2Ag (wt.%) alloy via
an industrial-scale equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The ECAP alloy exhibits an …

Abstract Mg-10Gd-2Y-0.4 Ag-0.4 Zr (wt%) alloy plates are prepared by Unidirectional
Rolling (UR) and Cross-Rolling (CR). The effects of these two methods on the microstructure …

Low-alloyed magnesium (Mg) alloys have emerged as one of the most promising
candidates for lightweight materials. However, their further application potential has been …

Abstract The magnesium-gadolinium (Mg–Gd) system provides an ideal model alloy for
precipitation hardening. Evolution of precipitates in a Mg–16.2 Gd–0.4 Zr (wt.%) alloy during …

Here we report in-situ TEM observations on interaction between dislocations and β′
phases in aged Mg–Gd alloys. The slipping dislocations squash into the interface and bow …

Interfaces such as twin boundaries, stacking faults and grain boundaries often play an
important role in controlling mechanical properties of metals through interaction with …

Mg alloys containing high Gd are featured by the outstanding aging hardening response.
Here we conduct a systematic study on the hardening behavior and precipitation evolution …

Refining grains to nanoscale has been a challenge, especially for materials with low-melting
points and poor ductility, such as Mg alloys. Here we report a novel mechanism of …

Segregation of solute atoms at twin boundaries (TBs) plays a critical role in mechanical
properties and thermal stability of magnesium alloys. Here, segregation structures at {10 1¯ …
