Summary: A low RE containing Mg-3Y-2Gd-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy with high strength-ductility synergy was successfully developed through combined processes of hot extrusion, hot rolling and ageing. The alloy exhibits excellent strength-ductility balance, better than many Mg-RE wrought alloys with higher RE concentration, and comparable to 6061 Al wrought alloy. A novel heterogeneous structure consisting of long-range chain-like structures and precipitate-free zones plays a key role in the concurrent strengthening and toughening of the alloy.

Summary: In this study, three types of WE43 plates with different heat treatments were studied. The microstructure and mechanical properties of these plates were investigated. It was found that the number of precipitates increased as a result of aging after extrusion. The coarse grains and high Schmid factor led to the highest hardness and limited plasticity in the solution-aging after extrusion plates. The T5 plates showed the highest strength due to fine grains and multiple precipitates, while the T6 plates exhibited low ductility because of grain boundary and twin boundary cracking.

Summary: This study focuses on the simplicity and performance of single-phased Mg-RE alloys for biomedical purposes. The use of high-solubility rare earth elements allows for the achievement of a homogeneous single-phased microstructure, resulting in good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Compared to clinically-proven Mg-based implants, these alloys exhibit similar in-vitro and in-vivo performances, with gradual excretion of metal elements and less burden on main organs.

Summary: The aim of this study was to substitute Gd for Y in Mg-2Ni-2Y alloy and observe its effects on microstructures and mechanical properties. The substitution of Gd decreased the volume fraction of the LPSO phase, leading to a reduction in mechanical strength. However, Gd promoted the dissolution of the LPSO phase in the α-Mg matrix, influencing the mechanical properties of the alloy.

Summary: In this study, a quantitative relationship between the composition, processing history, and mechanical properties of Magnesium-rare earth alloys was established using machine learning. Support vector regression (SVR) algorithms were employed to develop ML models with 310 sets of data, accurately predicting the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. The general applicability of the models was verified by collecting and predicting new data from the literature, resulting in a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 9% for UTS, 12% for YS, and 36% for EL. The effects of rare earth elements on mechanical properties were analyzed, and the ML models were utilized to recommend the composition and processing history of new high-strength Magnesium-rare earth alloys.

Summary: The effect of grain size and strain rate on the room-temperature compression of pure magnesium was studied. It was found that the deformation mechanisms and grain-boundary sliding were significantly influenced by grain size and strain rate, and the Hall-Petch relationship broke down under certain conditions. Additionally, the deformation mode had a negligible impact on the dominant deformation mechanisms and the Hall-Petch breakdown.

Summary: Mg-9 at%Y-6 at%Zn and Mg-2 at%Y-1 at%Zn alloys were processed by equal-channel-angular extrusion (ECAE) to investigate their microstructure evolution and local hardness. The area fraction of the kink bands in the Mg-9 at%Y-6 at%Zn alloys increased with increasing the number of ECAE passes, resulting in higher hardness. In the Mg-2 at%Y-1 at%Zn alloys, the microstructural evolution of the alpha-Mg matrix phase and long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase by 1-pass ECAE and the increase in local hardness were discussed.

Summary: The effect of micro-alloying with different elements on grain boundary sliding behavior at intermediate temperatures was examined. The micro-alloying element affects the damping capacity and the tensile response of the alloy. The partial contribution of grain boundary sliding to deformation is the major reason for the deviation of experimental results from calculated values.

Summary: To improve the cycle performance of Mg metal batteries, a polymer coating (PSTFSI-Mg) was applied on the surface of spinel-type MgMn2O4 cathode. The polymer coating promoted electron transfer between particles, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the polymer reduced the energy gap between the valence band maximum of MgMn2O4 and the highest occupied molecular orbital level of the electrolyte, thus suppressing electrolyte degradation.

Summary: Two types of lithium metals with different average grain sizes were successfully produced through extrusion process and rapid molding process. The hardness of the metals was found to be influenced by grain size, decreasing with a finer grained structure, which is contrary to the trend observed in other light-weight pure metals. The fine-grained Li metal exhibited a large strain rate dependence and unusual behavior, attributed to the contribution of grain boundary sliding to deformation. Additionally, the fine-grained Li metal showed better electrochemical characteristics in terms of over-potential and voltage response during charging and discharging operations.

Summary: The secondary formability and the effect of shape application on induced kink boundaries in Mg-9at.%Y-6at.%Zn alloy were investigated through experimental and numerical studies. A tube-shaped alloy without any cracks was successfully formed with kink boundaries associated with the applied shear strain. Numerical results showed a substantial shear strain at the contact region, but with an opposite shear direction after tube formation, indicating the possibility of de-kinking behavior. Additionally, the formed alloy exhibited higher hardness by 30 Hv compared to the un-processed alloy, and the correlation between kink density and hardness was consistent with literature results on wrought-processed Mg-Y-Zn alloys.

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

Summary: In this work, a physics-constrained neural network is used to predict grain-level responses in FCC material by incorporating crystal plasticity theory. The key feature, shear strain rate of slip system, is identified based on crystal plasticity and incorporated into the loss function as physical constitutive equations. The introduction of physics constraints accelerates the convergence of the neural network model and improves prediction accuracy, especially for small-scale datasets. Transfer learning is performed to capture complex in-plane deformation of crystals with any initial orientations, including cyclic loading and arbitrary non-monotonic loading.

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
