Effects of heat treatments on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg–3Nd–0.2Zn–0.4Zr (wt.%) alloy

Effect of heat treatments on the microhardness and tensile strength of Al–0.25 wt.% Zr alloy

“…On the other hand, when the aging temperature is lower, the maximum values of the microhardness and tensile strength become higher than those of higher aging temperature values (see Table 3). These results agree well with literature results [34,35,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. The microhardness and ultimate tensile strength values start to decrease when the over-aging (coarsening) start.…”

Effect of compression deformation on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of magnesium alloys

“…Magnesium numerous elements solute to form a series of magnesium alloys which have great potential for application in lightweight structural components due to their extremely low density, high specific strength and stiffness [1][2][3]. Moreover, wrought Mg alloys have attracted great attention in recent years owing to their higher mechanical properties than cast Mg alloys which usually have such casting defects as porosity, inclusions as well as low ductility [4][5][6].…”

PRISMS: An Integrated, Open-Source Framework for Accelerating Predictive Structural Materials Science

“…Magnesium-Rare Earth alloys exhibit exceptional strength properties; [94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102] however, they have been largely developed by traditional Edisonian techniques. We have thus focused our Use Case activities on the Mg-Nd-Y alloy system as an exemplar for the acceleration in fundamental understanding that can occur by tightly coupling experiments, theory and integrated multi-scale modeling.…”
