Interface segregation of solute atoms has a profound effect on properties of engineering
alloys. The occurrence of solute segregation in coherent twin boundaries (CTBs) in Mg …

Due to the insufficient slip systems, Mg and its alloys exhibit poor ductility during plastic
deformation at room temperature. To solve this problem, alloying is considered as a most …

Al-Mg alloys are a series of low cost and low density Al alloys, which show remarkable
strengthening during deformation. In this work, study of commercial purity Al, Al-0.5 Mg and …

In this paper, effects of thermal mechanical parameters on the flow behaviors and
microstructure evolution of Mg-7.5 Gd-1.5 Y-0.4 Zr-0.5 Ag (wt%) alloy were analyzed by the …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) with deformation strain significantly larger than one is
effective to strengthen metals and alloys. However, such a method will not work for Mg alloys …

This work systematically investigated the influence of the micro-Mn addition on the
microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Er alloys. To investigate their deformation …

In this study, a remarkable annealing hardening effect was detected in gradient ultrafine-
grained (UFG) Mg-0.32 Gd-0.11 Zr (at.%) alloy sheet fabricated by sliding friction treatment …

Excellent ductility and high strength were achieved in the Mg-10.6 Gd-2Ag (wt.%) alloy via
an industrial-scale equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The ECAP alloy exhibits an …
