The underlying mechanisms that are responsible for the improved room-temperature
ductility in Mg–Y alloys compared to pure Mg are investigated by transmission electron …

Single additions of the rare earth (RE) elements cerium, yttrium or neodymium have been
made to magnesium–manganese alloys in order to investigate their influence on the …

A method to weaken the strong basal texture of rolled magnesium alloy by twinning
deformation is reported. Pre-rolling along the transverse direction at room temperature …

In this study, the microstructures, mechanical properties, and ignition temperatures of hot-
rolled Mg-1.5 Zn-X (X: Ca and/or Sr) alloys were investigated. The Mg-1.5 Zn, Mg-1.5 Zn …

A viscoplastic crystal plasticity model is incorporated within the Marciniak–Kuczynski (M–K)
approach for forming limit curve prediction. The approach allows for the incorporation of …

Deformation twinning and texture evolution in hexagonal close-packed (HCP) metals lead to
evolving flow stress asymmetry/anisotropy and evolving plastic anisotropy. These …

In recent years, Mg alloys have made inroads into applications for transport industries. The
favorable property profile of Mg promotes increased usage. Despite magnesium alloys …

Rolling experiments were carried out on a ternary Mg–Zn–Ca alloy and its modification with
zirconium. Short time annealing of as-rolled sheets is used to reveal the microstructure and …

Large-strain monotonic and cyclic loading tests of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets were
performed with a newly developed testing system, at different temperatures, ranging from …

Single-phase solid solution alloys, Mg–2.9 Y and Mg–2.9 Zn (in wt%), and two-phase (α-Mg
solid solution+ intermetallic) Mg–Zn–Y alloys were deformed in uniaxial hot compression …
