Reducing vehicle weight is an important approach for increasing fuel economy, addressing
regulatory requirements, and meeting consumer needs. Magnesium alloys are among the …

In order to facilitate the understanding of the current research efforts and directions, this
article first introduces the anomalous/problematic features of magnesium (Mg) and presents …

Alloying magnesium (Mg) with rare earth elements such as yttrium (Y) has been reported to
activate the pyramidal< c+ a> slip systems and improve the plasticity of Mg at room …

To explore high temperature ductility, a new Mg-2.70 Zn-1.34 Y-0.37 Ca-0.02 Zr (wt.%) alloy
has been fabricated by novel multidirectional forging (MDF) and hot rolling. The …

Two Mg alloys containing 0.03 at% and 0.18 at% Nd were designed to investigate the effects
of solute concentration, and thermomechanical processing on the strengths of related …

Abstract Al, Ca, and Zn are representative commercial alloying elements for Mg alloys. To
investigate the effects of these elements on the deformation and recrystallization behaviors …

Interatomic potentials for pure Zn and Mg–Zn binary system have been developed on the
basis of the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method formalism. The …

The addition of rare elements to Mg enhances mechanical behavior via solution and
precipitation strengthening mechanisms. To provide fundamental insight into the underlying …

Here, we report molecular dynamics (MD) calculations of spall strength in pure magnesium
and magnesium alloys with 1–8 at.% aluminum in solid solution. The Mg–Al solid solution …

The impact of alloying elements on crack propagation and atomistic phenomenon at {10 1¯
2}-type twin boundaries in magnesium was investigated via both experiments and …
