Vibration fracture properties of a lightweight Mg–Li–Zn alloy

Influence of Sn on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–5Li–3Al–2Zn alloys

“…Previous reports have indicated that Al and Zn additions increase the tensile strength and improve the corrosion resistance capability of Mg-Li [4][5][6]. Many researchers also have studied Mg-Sn, Mg-Al-Si-Sn, Mg-Sn-Zn alloys, results show that, Sn in these alloys could improve the microstructure and mechanical properties [7][8][9][10].…”

Effect of Friction Stir Processing on the Microstructural Evolution and Tensile Behaviors of an α/β Dual-Phase Mg–Li–Al–Zn Alloy

“…MgLi alloys have better formability and vibration resistance than commonly used MgAlZn (AZ-series) alloys. 7,9) However, MgLi alloys exhibit low mechanical strength, which limits their engineering and structural applications. To overcome this drawback, some studies investigated the effects of cold working, addition of alloying Al, Zn and rare earth (RE) elements to improve the mechanical strength of MgLi alloys.…”

Comparison of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings on Mg–Li alloy formed in molybdate/silicate and aluminate/silicate composite electrolytes

“…Mg-Li alloys, as the lightest structural materials, have widely application prospects in aerospace, transportation, electronic, and other industries owing to the inherent superior properties, such as good dimensional stability, high specific stiffness, good machining property, electromagnetic shielding and damping characteristics, low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, good magnetic screen, and shock resistance ability [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Unfortunately, extremely poor corrosion resistance that results from the high chemical reactivity of magnesium and lithium, which reduces the lifetime of structural components, is a critical limitation which restricts its widespread use in many practical applications of Mg-Li alloys, especially in aggressive environments.…”
