The difficulty in exerting beneficial effects of fine grains, high number density nano-
precipitates as well as weakened texture simultaneously is currently the bottleneck limiting …

The process of void nucleation, growth, and coalescence is among the dominant ductile
failure modes in metallic alloys and can be transgranular as well as intergranular. In the …

The industrial applications of Mg alloys are greatly limited by their trade-off of high strength
and ductility. In this work, conventional extrusion and rotary swaging (RS) were applied to …

Low-alloyed magnesium (Mg) alloys have emerged as one of the most promising
candidates for lightweight materials. However, their further application potential has been …

Elemental segregation can pronouncedly affect the cohesion of grain boundary (GB), which
shows tremendous potential in altering the thermal stability and mechanical properties of …

Here we report in-situ TEM observations on interaction between dislocations and β′
phases in aged Mg–Gd alloys. The slipping dislocations squash into the interface and bow …

The regulation of precipitates remains a critical issue in the advancement of high-strength
magnesium-rare earth (Mg-RE) alloys. An effective method to manipulate the precipitates in …

Intergranular ductile fracture is a failure mode that may arise in many metallic alloys used in
industrial applications. It manifests as the successive nucleation, growth, and coalescence of …

Due to their unique precipitation behavior, magnesium-rare earth (Mg-RE) alloys exhibit
excellent strength and high thermal stability. However, owing to the negative blocking effect …

Rare-earth-containing Mg alloys are a group of widely investigated alloys due to the
disperse nano-sized precipitations formed during heat treatment. The underlying formation …
