The evaporation capacity of alloys differs with temperature, and this is the basis of a new experimental method to measure the boiling points of various kinds of alloys. In the present work, the effects of Al, Zn, Mn and La additions on the boiling point of magnesium have been studied. It is shown that various elemental additions and their varying contents in magnesium alloys have different influences on the boiling point of the alloys. Among these additions, Zn affected the boiling point of magnesium alloys most obviously, followed by Mn, Al and La. The boiling point of Mg-6 wt-%Zn alloy was the highest in the present study, up to 1715 K.

The enhancements of the residual Reynolds stresses and symmetry breaking with resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) are presented. These experiments were performed using a Langmuir probe array in the edge plasmas of the J-TEXT tokamak. This study aims at understanding the generating mechanisms of residual stresses and intrinsic rotations. It is observed that, with RMPs, the peaked residual stresses, steeper pressure gradients and stronger shear layers all appear around the resonant surface. The toroidal rotation is accelerated in the direction of the
