Spheroiding and refining of coarse CaMgSn phase in Mg-Al-Sn-Ca alloys for simultaneously improved strength and ductility via sub-rapid solidification and controlled rolling

Min Zha et al.

Summary: A novel Mg-4.5Al-1.5Sn-0.5Ca alloy with high mechanical properties was produced via sub rapid solidification and controlled rolling. The morphology of CaMgSn phase changed from long-rod to refined spherical/quasi-spherical through the processing strategy proposed in this study. The alloy exhibited impressive strength (yield strength of approximately 275 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of approximately 338 MPa) and ductility (elongation of approximately 20%) due to the formation of dispersed nano-sized CaMgSn precipitates.

Dynamic recrystallization, twinning behaviors and mechanical response of pre-twinned AZ31 Mg alloy sheet along various strain paths at warm temperature

Xiaohuan Pan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic recrystallization, twinning behaviors, and mechanical response of AZ31 Mg alloy sheet pre-twinned in the transverse direction at room temperature. The strain path angle is found to significantly affect the microstructural evolution and mechanical response. Continuous dynamic recrystallization and detwinning play important roles in coordinating strain at different strain path angles. Both strengthening and weakening effects are observed in the pre-twinned samples.

Alloying design and microstructural control strategies towards developing Mg alloys with enhanced ductility

Zhong-Zheng Jin et al.

Summary: Magnesium alloys show promising potential as lightweight structural materials in transportation and aerospace fields due to their low density and high specific strength. However, most high-strength magnesium alloys exhibit poor formability and ductility at room temperature, limiting their applications. Recent research has focused on enhancing the ductility of magnesium alloys through alloying design strategies and microstructural control using advanced processing technologies.

Enhanced superplasticity achieved by disclination-dislocation reactions in a fine-grained low-alloyed magnesium system

Min Zha et al.

Summary: Superplastic forming is crucial for producing complex-shaped components in Mg-alloys, especially in high-alloyed systems. However, stabilizing small grains and facilitating grain boundary sliding in low-alloyed systems is challenging due to insufficient precipitates. Through a unique design strategy involving solute segregation, an Mg-1Zn-0.2Ca-0.2Zr-0.1Ag (wt.%) alloy achieved ~450% superplastic strain by absorbing intragranular dislocations through stress-driven grain boundary migration mediated by disclination-dislocation reactions. This study provides insights into the relationship between microstructural defects evolution and strain accommodation during superplastic deformation, shedding light on the nature of superplasticity mechanism.
