Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

The highlights of major Canadian research projects of last two decades that aimed at
advancing applications of magnesium and its alloys, being at the heart of lightweighting and …

The effect of prismatic plates on the mechanical behaviour at low and high temperature of a
Mg-1 wt.% Mn-1 wt% Nd alloy was determined. For this purpose, a weakly textured extruded …

Although magnesium alloys deform extensively through shear strains and crystallographic
re-orientations associated with the growth of twins, little is known about the strengthening …

Abstract Mg–Gd–Ag-based alloys have attracted considerable attention in recent years
owing to their high strength. However, their characteristic mechanical behavior remains …

Precipitation is an efficient method to strengthen metallic materials. While precipitation
hardening effects on dislocation slip have been studied extensively in the past, the influence …

A dual-textured wrought Mg-6.5 Zn (wt.%) alloy with limited yield asymmetry (compressive
yield strength/tensile yield strength: 0.90) is reported. Approximately 80% of the grains …

Abstract The Mg-13Gd-4Y–2Zn-0.5 Zr (wt.%) alloy containing high-content long-period
stacking ordered (LPSO) phases is pre-solutioned prior to multi-directional forging (MDF) …

In this study, the precipitate characteristics and precipitation-strengthening mechanism of
solution-treated Mg-13Gd-4Y–2Zn-0.6 Zr alloy after the upsetting and extrusion were …

This study develops an Orowan precipitate hardening equation applicable to twin
propagation. It is derived from a series of two dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations …
