Microstructures and mechanical properties of the extruded Mg-4Y-2Gd-xZn-0.4Zr alloys

Microstructures and mechanical properties of high-strength Mg–Gd–Y–Zn–Zr alloy sheets processed by severe hot rolling

“…Hot extrusion is a very effective technique to refine the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of Mg alloys [16]. Extraordinary high-strength Mg-1.8Gd-1.8Y-0.7Zn-0.2Zr (at%) alloy exhibiting an ultimate tensile strength of 542 MPa, yield strength of 473 MPa and elongation to failure of 8.0% has been fabricated by indirect extrusion and subsequent ageing [17].…”

Microstructure, tensile properties and creep behaviors of as-cast Mg–2Al–1Zn–xGd (x=1, 2, 3, and 4wt.%) alloys

“…Furthermore, the chances of creep-induced precipitation of the Mg 17 Al 12 phase and the diffusion of solute atoms of aluminum at elevated temperature are greatly reduced [28]. (2) Compared with the microstructures of the (Mg, Al) 3 Gd phase before the creep test, no obvious changes of microstructures of the (Mg, Al) 3 Gd phase are observed after the creep test. It indicates that the (Mg, Al) 3 Gd phase remains stable during the creep test [25].…”

“…The Mg-based alloys usually exhibit notable attractiveness to the automotive industry as structural parts due to low densities and high specific strength [2]. In all of the magnesium alloys, the Mg-Al-Zn series alloys have the most wide spread application.…”

Effects of equal channel angular extrusion on the microstructure and high-temperature mechanical properties of ZA85 magnesium alloy

“…In recent years, the development of magnesium alloys, which generally have excellent properties such as low density, high specific strength, superior damping capacity, high thermal conductivity, and good electromagnetic shielding characteristics, has been attracting much attention [1][2][3][4]. These properties make magnesium alloys suitable for a broad range of applications in electronic devices and the aircraft and automobile industries among others.…”
