“…These investigations have mainly focused on the strengthening method and its mechanism [4,5,6]. This research has recently been extended to the thermal deformation of Mg–Gd alloys [7,8,9,10]. It is known that the effective deformation modes of magnesium alloys are extrusion, forging, or rolling [11,12,13] and that the ductility and strength can be significantly enhanced due to the fine grains associated with dynamic recrystallization (DRX) [14,15,16,17], texture [10,18], and dynamic precipitation (DP) of rare earth compounds [14,19,20].…”
