“…Among various types of LPSO structures, 18R and 14H LPSO phases are two commonly observed in Mg-RE-Zn alloys, which contributed to the improved mechanical properties of these alloys [12,18]. At present, lots of efforts have been made to break through the strength limit of magnesium alloys by clarifying the strengthening mechanism of LPSO phase, tailoring the morphology and distribution of LPSO phases and combining LPSO strengthening with other strengthening factors [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Inspiringly, the introducing of LPSO phase with coherent nano precipitates (β' and/or γ' phase) has been successfully employed in Mg-Y-Zn, Mg-Gd-Zn and Mg-Gd-Y-Zn alloys, which showed enhanced mechanical properties with high strength and moderate elongation [18,23,24].…”
