Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

Magnesium alloys are of considerable current interest for use as degradable implants due to
their unique properties including biodegradability, biocompatibility, low density and …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are generally used in light-weight structural applications due to their
higher specific strength. However, the usage of these Mg alloys is limited due to their poor …

Two step equal channel angular pressing carried out on as cast ZE41 Mg alloy resulted in a
remarkable grain refinement. As compared to grain size of 46 µm in as cast sample …

Benefits of RE addition on Mg alloys strength and corrosion resistance are widely reported
but their effects on biodegradability and biocompatibility are still of concern. This paper …

This study investigates the effect of {10–12} deformation twins on the continuous
precipitation behavior of an extruded Mg–8.0 Al–0.5 Zn–0.2 Mn (AZ80) alloy during aging …

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was performed on ZK60 alloy and pure Mg in the
temperature range 150–250° C. A significant grain refinement was detected after ECAP …

Lightweight materials with high strength and ductility have immense potential in
revolutionizing the automobile, aerospace, bio-medical and defence sector. Magnesium and …

Most metals including Mg alloys have a longstanding dilemma of strength-ductility trade-off,
which is hindering their wider applications. In this study, we propose a gradient …

A ZK60 magnesium alloy was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) for up
to 8 passes at 473K and the evolution of strength and microstructural parameters were …
