He published more than 30 peer reviewed scientific papers, attended 10 invited lectures and holds 2 patents. His papers were cited more than 300 times. His research interests mainly include: (1) Fatigue behavior and fracture toughness of light metals, such as Mg and Al alloys; (2) Effects of alloying, heat treatment and thermomechanical processes on the microstructural evolution and mechanical improvement of light metals; (3) Corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue behavior of Mg and Al alloys; (4) Design of new lightweight alloys with a good balance of properties in terms of mechanical property and corrosion resistance. Both the solid solution and precipitation are mainly strengthening mechanism for the magnesium-based alloys. A great number of alloying elements can be dissolved into the Mg matrix to form the solutes and precipitates. Moreover, the type of precipitates varies with different alloying elements and heat treatments, which makes it quite difficult to understand the formation mechanism of the precipitates in Mg-based alloys in depth. Thus, it is very hard to give a systematical regularity in precipitation process for the Mg-based alloys. This review † Corresponding author. Prof.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
