Magnesium alloys have received an increasing interest in the past 12 years for potential
applications in the automotive, aircraft, aerospace, and electronic industries. Many of these …

It is an ultimate goal for almost all the metallurgists to improve strength, ductility, formability
and conductivity of metal together. However, ductility, formability and conductivity are …

The development of continuous precipitate morphology in heat-treated Mg–9wt% Al–1wt%
Zn alloy (AZ91) for a range of ageing temperatures is investigated in detail using TEM. The …

The corrosion behaviour of die cast magnesium alloy AZ91D aged at 160° C was
investigated. The corrosion rate of the alloy decreases with ageing time in the initial stages …

Precipitation of fine intermetallic particles during conventional thermal aging can
significantly enhance the mechanical properties of Al alloys. However, this method offers …

A model is developed that couples a description of the continuous precipitation of β-Mg 17
Al 12 laths at elevated temperatures to a summation of the different contributions to the room …

The microstructure investigations of the AZ91 alloy and binary Mg–9wt.% Al alloy after
different heat treatments were presented. Solution annealing at 693K for 26h (with water …

Discontinuous reactions are solid state moving boundary phase transitions characterised by
a discontinuous or abrupt change in orientation and composition between the matrix phases …

Sand-cast plates of a commercial AZ91C alloy have been used for the study. Varying the
solidification rate by placing large cast-iron chills in the mould produced a range of …

Kikuchi diffraction was used to accurately determine the orientation relationship (OR)
between Mg17Al12 precipitates and matrix in an AZ91D alloy. For both continuous and …
