The demand for light-weighting in transport and consumer electronics has seen rapid growth
in the commercial usage of magnesium (Mg). The major use of Mg is now in cast Mg …

Grain refinement of cast magnesium alloys, particularly in magnesium–aluminium (Mg–Al)
based alloys, has been an active research topic in the past two decades, because it has …

Abstract Mg-Li-Al alloys with a body-centred cubic (BCC) structure can exhibit exceptional
specific strengths in combination with excellent ductility and corrosion resistance. In general …

The issue of how to avoid the poisoning phenomenon of α-Al grain refinement caused by
special elements (such as Si and Zr) has always been the focus of research attention. In this …

Magnesium alloys are widely employed in various applications due to their high strength-to-
weight ratio and superior mechanical properties as compared to unalloyed Magnesium …

Grain refinement leads, in general, to a decreased tendency to hot tearing, a more dispersed
and refined porosity distribution, and improved directional feeding characteristics during …

The electrochemical behaviour of biodegradable magnesium alloy Mg-0.8 Ca was
evaluated in a mammalian cell culture medium (MEM) and NaCl solutions (0.9 wt.%, 0.3 …

Magnesium is the lightest constructional metal, which makes it an important material for
different applications like automotive, transportation, aviation and aerospace. There are …

This is the first monograph to comprehensively cover the effect of using power ultrasound to
refine and solidify aluminium and magnesium alloys. The author is widely regarded as a …

The Zr distribution in a commercial Mg-30Zr master alloy was modified by tungsten inert gas
arc re-melting with ultra-high frequency pulses (UHFP-TIGR) leading to the most substantial …
