Effect of Yttrium Addition on Microstructural Characteristics and Superplastic Behavior of Friction Stir Processed ZK60 Alloy

Strain-controlled low cycle fatigue properties of a rare-earth containing ZEK100 magnesium alloy

“…This was due to the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during rolling which was followed by the annealing treatment [41]. Likewise, other RE-containing particles (e.g., cerium [46] and yttrium [47]) were observed to play a similar role in the refinement of the grains. After annealing, the pre-existent twins disappeared and equiaxed grains formed, which was in agreement with the results shown in Fig.2.…”

Cyclic deformation and anelastic behavior of ZEK100 magnesium alloy: Effect of strain ratio

“…Indeed, RE and Zr-containing particles are favorable for the Zener pinning (i.e., Zener drag) effect [42]. Equally, cerium [43] and yttrium [44] containing alloys were observed to play a similar role in the grain refinement. ( ) and 1011 ( ) pole figures of the rolled ZEK100 Mg alloy, which were evaluated using the MTEX software [34].…”

Experimental investigation on the improvement of the properties of the AZ80A Mg alloy joints using friction stir welding process

“…Limited Investigations have been carried out on the FSW of Mg alloys under various conditions and process parameters [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] and a close review of these investigations reveals us that, majority of these investigations have done w.r.t. AZ31B Mg alloy [42 -46] and limited investigations on joining of AZ61 [47 -49], ZK60 [50,51] etc. For example, the changes obtained in the tribological properties of the AZ31B Mg alloy joints fabricated during the FSW process by employing different tool shoulder profiles was investigated by Ganesa Balamurugan et al [44].…”
