Magnesium, its alloys and composites with an approximate density of two-thirds of aluminum
and a quarter of steel are the most prominent engineering materials in various industries …

In order to reduce oil consumption and avoid fossil fuel-related environmental problems,
scientists are always looking for lightweight structural materials that show high performance …

Grain refinement can significantly enhance the strength of metallic materials, but usually at
the sacrifice of ductility. Here we report that refinement of magnesium grains can not only …

Pure magnesium (Mg) develops a strong basal texture after conventional processing of hot
rolling or extrusion. Consequently, it exhibits anisotropic mechanical properties and is …

Based on their high specific strength and stiffness, magnesium alloys are attractive for
lightweight applications in aerospace and transportation, where weight saving is crucial for …

In this paper, the rolling textures of six magnesium alloys containing different levels of zinc
and rare earth (RE, eg mischmetal or Y) additions are examined. The overall texture strength …

The monotonic and cyclic mechanical behavior of O-temper AZ31B Mg sheet was measured
in large-strain tension/compression and simple shear. Metallography, acoustic emission …

In order to study the behavior of material under finite deformation at various strain rates, the
responses of AZ31 Mg sheet are measured under uniaxial (tension and compression) and …

The distribution characteristics of in-grain misorientation axes (IGMA) in cold-rolled pure
titanium were investigated using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Depending on the …

Uniaxial compression test data were obtained from magnesium alloy AZ31B sheet material
tested along three sample directions (rolling, transverse and normal direction) over the …
