Formation, characteristics and control of sludge in Al-containing magnesium alloys: An overview

Effect of Gd on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of High-Pressure Die-Cast Mg-La-Ce Alloys at Ambient and Elevated Temperatures

“…Magnesium (Mg) alloy is a promising light alloy due to its high specific strength, specific stiffness, and low density [1][2][3]. It has been used in transportation, aerospace, electronics, and other industrial fields.…”

“…Appropriate alloying elements were introduced to achieve alloy strengthening by utilizing strengthening mechanisms such as grain size, secondary phase, solid solution and precipitation strengthening [9,10]. The effects of alloying elements, such as Al, Zn, Mn, Ca, and rare earth (RE), on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg alloys have been widely studied [2,[11][12][13][14][15]. The most widely used die-cast Mg alloys are Mg-Al series alloys, such as AZ91, AM50 and AE44 [3].…”
