The present work reports the creep behavior and microstructural evolution of the sand-cast
Mg–14Gd–0.4 Zr alloy (wt.%) prepared by the differential pressure casting machine. Their …

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 …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys with high concentrations of Gd additions are known to exhibit high
strength and good creep resistance at elevated temperatures. However, the main …

Compressive creep tests were performed on sand-cast and peak-aged Mg–14Gd–1Zn–0.4
Zr (wt.%) alloys at 250° C in this study. The microstructures before creep and at the …

The present study seeks the feasibility of using short carbon fibres recycled from polymer
matrix composites as alternative to virgin carbon fibres in the reinforcement of magnesium …

An AM60 magnesium alloy nanocomposite reinforced with 1 wt% of AlN nanoparticles was
prepared using an ultrasound (US) assisted permanent-mould indirect-chill casting process …

Creep stress including tensile loading and compressive loading was carried out on hot-
rolled Mg-3wt% Gd alloy at 473 K along the rolling direction (RD) and the normal direction …

Modification of the recently developed creep-resistant Mg-3Gd-2Ca (wt.%) magnesium alloy
using Nd and Mn remarkably improved the creep resistance at both 180° C and 210° C. The …

This assessment is focussed on wrought magnesium alloys for lightweight applications,
particularly in the transport sector. The challenges to their wider use are summarised …
