“…This procedure has been widely used, for example, to improve the properties of aluminum [18,19] and titanium [20] alloys. In addition, the effectiveness of using this processing method for grain refinement in magnesium alloys down to the UFG state was demonstrated in [12,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. Thus, Li et al [26] showed that the application of MAD to alloy Mg-2%Zn-2%Gd allows attaining a very fine microstructure with the average grain size of ~500 nm.…”
