Grain refinement of cast magnesium alloys, particularly in magnesium–aluminium (Mg–Al)
based alloys, has been an active research topic in the past two decades, because it has …

The crystallographic orientations are generally non-random in wrought Mg alloy, which will
lead to their macroscopic physical properties to be anisotropic. Understanding the texture …

Wire-arc directed energy deposition (DED) has attracted significant interest for the
fabrication of large-sized, lightweight Mg-alloy components. However, these components …

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 temperature evolution during friction stir welding (FSW) and the resulting residual
stresses of AZ31 Mg alloy were studied to get a better understanding of the mechanisms …

Motivated by the effect of cooling rate on microstructure, standard air cooling (AC) and novel
cryogenic cooling (CC) were employed in the wire-arc directed energy deposition process of …

This paper builds on the “Grain Refinement of Mg Alloys” published in 2005 and reviews the
grain refinement research on Mg alloys that has been undertaken since then with an …

Investigations on the fabrication of large-size lightweight Mg alloy components by wire-arc
directed energy deposition (DED) are steadily flourishing. Nevertheless, most of these …

The crystallographic basal plane dominated rolling surface (RS) of AZ31 Mg alloy has
higher corrosion resistance in a chloride containing solution than its prismatic plane …

Alloying generally strengthens metallic materials because movement of dislocations is
retarded by interactions with solute atoms in solid-solution alloys. However, there is a trade …
