“…Improving the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys has been a persistent challenge. To address these issues, alloy design often involves adding reinforcing elements such as Al, Ca, Zn, and Si [3][4][5][6][7][8], with magnesium-aluminum alloy being the most common alloy in practice. While some research on magnesium alloys has addressed drawbacks like low strength and flammability through the addition of rare earth elements or process improvements, the feasibility of large-scale application and complete replacement of existing methods remains uncertain [9,10].…”

Magnesium-aluminum alloy is one of the most common alloy materials in the industry, widely utilized due to its low density and excellent mechanical properties. Investigating the properties or predicting new structures through experimentation inevitably involves complex processes, which consume significant time and resources. To facilitate the discovery, simulations such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) methods are primarily employed. However, DFT incurs significant computational costs. While ML methods are versatile and efficient, they demand high-quality datasets and may exhibit some degree of inaccuracy. To address these challenges, we employ a combination of generative model and automatic differentiation (AD), reducing the search space and accelerating the discovery of target materials. We have predicted a variety of magnesium-aluminum alloys. We conducted structure optimization and property evaluation for ten potentially valuable intermetallic compounds. Ultimately, we identified five stable structures: Mg3Al3, Mg2Al6, Mg4Al12, Mg15Al and Mg14Al2. Among these, Mg4Al12, Mg15Al and Mg14Al2 may hold higher potential for practical applications.

“…Furthermore, magnesium alloys possess advantageous features such as high damping for shock absorption, efficient heat dissipation, and recyclability. For example, in the automotive industry, magnesium alloys find application in various components like steering wheels, seat frames, dashboard frames, and gearbox casings [5,6].…”

This study investigates the effects of zinc (4 wt.%) and severe plastic deformation on the mechanical properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy through the stir-casting process. Severe plastic deformation (Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP)) has been performed followed by T4 heat treatment. The microstructural examinations revealed that the addition of 4 wt.% Zn enhances the uniform distribution of β-phase, contributing to a more uniformly corroded surface in corrosive environments. Additionally, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) significantly reduces the grain size of as-cast alloys after undergoing ECAP. The attained mechanical properties demonstrate that after a single ECAP pass, AZ61 + 4 wt.% Zn alloy exhibits the highest yield strength (YS), ultimate compression strength (UCS), and hardness. This research highlights the promising potential of AZ61 + 4 wt.% Zn alloy for enhanced mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties, offering valuable insights for applications in diverse engineering fields.
