Mg and its alloys have continued to attract interest for several structural and super-sensitive
applications because of their light weight and good combination of engineering properties …

Micro-alloying design of wrought magnesium (Mg) alloys is an important strategy to achieve
high mechanical properties at a low cost. In the last two decades, significant progress has …

Commercial Mg extrusions usually develop various types of basal textures, affecting the
formability and mechanical properties. The mechanisms for the formation of basal texture …

The unusual increase in the strength by extrusion is a unique feature of recently developed
Mg alloys containing the LPSO phase. In this study, we first elucidated the detailed …

Rare earth elements or yttrium can weaken the strong basal textures of magnesium sheets
and are of interest for the improvement of sheet formability. The weakening of magnesium …

The mechanical properties of Mg97Zn1Y2 extruded alloy, composed of Mg matrix phase
and a long-period stacking ordered phase, the so-called LPSO phase, with a volume fraction …

Extraordinary high-strength Mg–1.8 Gd–1.8 Y–0.7 Zn–0.2 Zr alloy has successfully been
fabricated by an ingot metallurgy process with hot extrusion followed by aging. The sample …

The current study examines the influence of select rare earth elements; Gd, Nd, Ce, La and
mischmetal (MM) on the sheet texture modification during warm rolling and annealing of a …

The I 1 intrinsic stacking fault energy (I 1 SFE) serves as an alloy design parameter for
ductilizing Mg alloys. In view of this effect we have conducted quantum–mechanical …

We have developed a wrought magnesium alloy, Mg-1.3 Al-0.3 Ca-0.4 Mn (wt.%) or
AXM10304, that can be extruded at a very high die-exist speed of 24 m/min, comparable to …
