“…Mg alloys have attracted significant attention in industrial fields where weight reduction is required, such as automobiles, railroads, and aerospace, because of their excellent specific strength among lightweight structural metallic materials. 1,2) However, Mg alloys find limited use because they exhibit poor strength. Under this situation mentioned above, novel high-strength Mg alloys containing a long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase have been developed over the last two decades.…”

High-strength dilute MgYZn alloys with cluster-arranged layer/nanoplate (CAL/CANaP) precipitates were developed via combined processes of low-cooling-rate solidification and extrusion techniques. The effects of CANaP morphology and deformation kink bands installation on the tensile properties of the extruded MgYZn alloys were investigated. A slow-cooling solidification process with a cooling rate range of 0.10.01 K•s ¹1 produces a CAL-aggregated region in the ¡-Mg matrix. The CAL-aggregated region comprises long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) nanoplates with an intergrowth structure and the solo-CAL precipitates. The area fraction of the CAL-aggregated region increased with decreasing cooling rate. The microstructure of the extruded Mg 99.2 Y 0.6 Zn 0.2 alloys prepared from low cooling rate-solidified ingots consisted of three characteristic regions: (i) dynamically recrystallized (DRXed) fine ¡-Mg grains, (ii) worked coarse ¡-Mg grains with a CAL-aggregated region, and (iii) worked blocky LPSO grains. The strength and ductility of the extruded MgYZn alloys may be controlled by the volume fractions of the worked and DRXed grains, respectively. It is desirable to control the CANaP thickness and spacing to ³1 µm and ³0.8 µm or more, respectively, to promote DRX. Conversely, it is necessary to control the CANaP thickness and spacing to ³1 µm and ³0.8 µm or less, respectively, to form the worked grains in which kink bands are introduced.

“…In recent years, Mg and its alloys have been increasingly used in automobile, aerospace, and 3C industries, due to their low density and high specific strength [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. However, the applications of these Mg alloys have been extremely limited because of their low strength, low formability, and poor corrosion resistance at ambient temperature [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

In this study, Ti particles reinforced Mg AZ31/Al 6082 composite sheets were successfully prepared by hot rolling, with the aim of revealing the effect of Ti particles addition on the mechanical behavior and microstructure of Mg AZ31/Al 6082 composite sheets. The results showed that Ti particles were uniformly distributed at the interface of the Mg/Al-Ti composite sheets, which could greatly reduce the amount of Mg-Al intermetallic compounds during annealing treatment. Compared to the Mg/Al sheet, the tensile strength and elongation of the Mg/Al-Ti sheet could be improved simultaneously after the annealing treatment. Ti particles addition hardly affected the grain size, texture type, and tensile fracture morphology of the Mg layer and Al layer in the composite sheets before and after annealing. This present study provides a new perspective on the mechanical behavior and microstructure of Mg/Al composites through the addition of metal particles.

“…Due to low densities and high specific strengths, Mg alloys show great potential in aerospace and automobile areas because the application of Mg alloys to structural components can effectively reduce weight, fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions [1,2]. However, the mechanical properties of Mg alloys are relatively low, and require further improvement by means of various strengthening methods.…”

As the lightest structural materials, Mg alloys show great effectiveness at energy saving and emission reduction when applied in the automotive and aerospace fields. In particular, Zr-bearing Mg alloys (non-Al containing) exhibit high strengths and elevated-temperature usage values. Zr is the most powerful grain refiner, and it provides fine grain sizes, uniformities in microstructural and mechanical properties and processing formability for Mg alloys. Due to the importance of Zr alloying, this review paper systematically summarizes the latest research progress in the grain refinement effects of Zr on Mg alloys. The main points are reviewed, including the alloying process of Zr, the grain refinement mechanism of Zr, factors affecting the grain refinement effects of Zr, and methods improving grain refinement efficiency of Zr. This paper provides a comprehensive understating of grain refinement effects of Zr on Mg alloys for the researchers and engineers.
