Magnesium, its alloys and composites with an approximate density of two-thirds of aluminum
and a quarter of steel are the most prominent engineering materials in various industries …

Friction stir processing (FSP), developed based on the basic principles of friction stir welding
(FSW), a solid-state joining process originally developed for aluminum alloys, is an …

By introducing heterogeneous lamella-structure, we obtained a superior strength-ductility
synergy in Mg-alloy associated with excellent strain-hardening ability, ie yield strength of∼ …

Most of the high-strength Mg alloys exhibit poor ductility at room temperature. Architecturing
appropriate heterostructure in metallic materials gives rise to the breakthrough of the …

The microstructure of a commercial AZ91 Mg alloy was modified via equal channel angular
pressing (ECAP) and subsequent aging. Immersion corrosion testing in 3.5 wt.% NaCl …

By means of surface mechanical attrition treatment, nanometer-sized grains (with an
average size of 30±5nm) were generated in the surface layer of a single-phase AZ91D alloy …

Abstract The Hall-Petch (H–P) relation for bimodal-grained Mg–Al–Zn alloys consisting of
both ultra-fine grains (UFGs)/fine grains (FGs) and coarse grains (CGs) is discussed …

Abstract A novel Mg-8Al-2Sn-1Zn alloy with a bimodal structure prepared by hard-pate-
rolling (HPR) exhibits both higher tensile strength and ductility than its fine-grained …

Precipitation of fine intermetallic particles during conventional thermal aging can
significantly enhance the mechanical properties of Al alloys. However, this method offers …

Effect of microstructure change on corrosion behaviour of equal-channel angular pressed
(ECAPed) AZ91D Mg alloy was investigated. The ECAPed alloy with ultra-fine grained …
