Summary: The relationship between Zn content and room temperature mechanical properties of dilute Mg-xZn-0.1Ca alloy sheets was investigated. Increasing the Zn content resulted in a significant improvement in the formability. The relative activity of deformation modes did not show apparent differences between different Zn contents. The appearance of tilted basal poles and the development of TD-split texture contributed to the enhanced formability. The efficient scheme for parameter fitting required for VPSC simulation was proposed.

Summary: The effects of Zn and Cu addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg-3Sn-1Ca alloy were studied. It was found that the addition of Zn and Cu significantly improved the mechanical properties of the alloy. The Mg-3Sn-1Ca-1Zn-1Cu alloy demonstrated the best comprehensive mechanical properties, with increased UTS and E-L values. However, the presence of a large amount of Mg2Cu phase in the Mg-3Sn-1Ca-1Cu alloy resulted in lower ductility compared to the Mg-3Sn-1Ca-1Zn alloy.

Summary: The micro addition of Ca effectively increases the strength and ductility of Mg-Zn-Ce alloy by enhancing alloying segregation at grain boundary. The addition of Ca leads to enhanced Zn segregation and co-segregation of Zn, Ce, and Ca. This is attributed to the decreased segregation energy and promoted diffusion process of Zn by Ca, which accelerates the thermodynamic and kinetic process of segregation. The controllable segregation at grain boundary, induced by Ca, contributes to the development of advanced magnesium alloys by stabilizing grain boundary, refining grain size, inhibiting dislocation mobility, improving strength, and enhancing grain boundary cohesion and ductility.

Summary: The investigation focused on the bulk texture and mechanical properties of wide Mg-Al-Zn alloy sheets with different Al contents. Results showed that with increasing Al content, the intensity of the grain texture weakened, and the recrystallized grains had a more random orientation. This change is attributed to the refined microstructure, precipitates, and weakened basal texture.

Summary: In this study, transverse gradient extrusion (TGE) processes with different die inclined angles were used to produce Mg-3Al-1Zn sheets, aiming to tailor their texture and mechanical properties. The microstructure, deformation texture, and final mechanical properties of the obtained sheets were analyzed and discussed. The rheological behavior of Mg alloys during extrusion was also analyzed using the finite element method. The results showed that the TGE die inclined angle influenced the flow velocity and effective strain difference during extrusion, leading to changes in the microstructure and texture of the extruded sheets. Higher TGE die inclined angles resulted in finer grain size and more uniform microstructure. The TGE-45 sheet exhibited a large elongation and low yield stress.

The addition of 0.5 wt% Zn promotes the dynamic precipitation of beta-Mg5RE phases, resulting in a well-distributed distribution in the 0.5Zn alloy compared to a local distribution in the 0Zn alloy.

Summary: The Mg96Y2Ni2 (at. %) alloy with a volume fraction of 50% of LPSO phase was processed by extrusion and ECAP. Different microstructures of bimodal alpha-Mg matrix and fully dynamic recrystallized matrix were obtained by controlling the processing parameters, and the relationship between microstructure and tensile properties was investigated. The extruded alloy at 390 degrees C showed ultrahigh tensile yield strength but low elongation to failure, while the alloy extruded at 450 degrees C exhibited a balanced strength-ductility behavior. Fully recrystallized ultra-fine Mg grains contributed to the increase of elongation to failure. This work provides theoretical guidance for developing Mg-LPSO two-phase alloys with excellent strength-ductility synergy.

Summary: The study investigated the influence of Mn content (0.4, 0.8, 1.2 wt.%) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-extruded dilute binary Mg-Mn alloys. Increasing Mn content resulted in a decrease in the volume fraction and size of dynamically recrystallized (DRXed) grains. Segregation of Mn atoms and nano alpha-Mn dynamical precipitates were observed at the grain boundaries, with the amount of precipitates increasing with Mn content. Tensile tests showed that Mn content significantly affected mechanical properties, with the Mg-0.8 wt.% Mn alloy exhibiting excellent ductility at room temperature.

Summary: A vertically continuous casting technique was used to produce a ductile iron pipe, and the tribological behavior of austempered ductile iron (ADI) was examined under various service conditions. The study found that ADI's tribological behaviors were significantly influenced by normal loads and sliding speeds. Spheroidal graphite was preferentially transferred from the matrix to the tribosurface in ADI under high normal loads, and high sliding speed accelerated the formation of the graphite lubricating layer. As a result, ADI's friction coefficient decreased with increasing normal load and sliding speed. The wear rate of ADI followed a similar trend, increasing with higher normal load and decreasing with higher sliding speed. The worn surface indicated that adhesive wear occurred at low sliding speeds, while abrasive wear was the primary wear mechanism at high sliding speeds.

Summary: A Mg-1Al-1Ca-0.4Mn (AXM1104, wt%) alloy extruded at 250°C with a ram speed of 0.1 mm/s obtains a unique bimodal microstructure. The as-extruded alloy exhibits a high tensile yield strength of 474 MPa and a low ductility of 2.1%, surpassing conventionally extruded rare-earth-free Mg alloys reported so far. After annealing at 300°C for 10 min, the annealed alloy achieves a good strength-ductility balance, with a yield strength of 426 MPa and an elongation of 5.4%. The ultrahigh yield strength of the as-extruded alloy is attributed to the combined strengthening effect of grain boundary, dislocation, and texture, while the as-annealed alloy is mainly strengthened by both grain boundary strengthening and precipitation strengthening from planar Al2Ca nano phase.

Summary: Metastable beta Ti alloys based on the Ti-Nb system have attracted attention due to their unique properties. However, the unstable cyclic behavior of these alloys has hindered their widespread industrial use. Recent studies have shown that internal stresses, including those from dislocations, may be responsible for this behavior. This study demonstrates that inter-cycle thermal treatments can mitigate the unstable cyclic behavior, providing a significant breakthrough in our understanding of Ti-Nb superelastic materials.

Summary: This paper systematically investigated the evolution of microstructure in Fe-Ni-Co-Al polycrystalline alloys and its effects on mechanical properties. The results revealed that the migration of grain boundaries in different processes is driven by different factors, which impacts the grain orientation and precipitate formation. In the process of directional recrystallization, grains with specific orientations grow in the grain boundary region and form the dominant orientation, while grains with lower migration rate form the minor orientation. The alloy produced through directional recrystallization exhibited good recoverable strain and superelastic strain, while the alloy produced through solid solution treatment showed no evident superelastic behavior.

Summary: This study employed laser metal deposition to additively manufacture Ti-15Mo wt% alloy, and subsequently subjected it to post-fabrication uniaxial thermomechanical processing. The results showed that different zones in the microstructure remained after processing, and deformation mechanisms mainly involved slip and martensite formation. The compressive mechanical properties were found to be dependent on strain rate, with higher flow stress and compressive strength observed at higher strain rates. Grain structure homogenisation was not achieved, leading to anisotropic tensile properties.

The results show significant heterogeneity in the centerline region, with higher intensity of certain textures. Drop Weight Tear Test indicates that steel specimens with lower and medium reductions exhibit superior low-temperature impact toughness compared to steel with higher reductions. The electrochemical hydrogen charging experiments confirm the presence of internal hydrogen cracks only in steel with lower and medium reductions.

The results showed that dynamic tensile deformation led to an increase in yield strength and a decrease in ultimate tensile strength, with a trend towards increased total elongation. The primary deformation mechanisms shifted from TRIP and TWIP effects to deformation twinning and dislocations. The presence of carbides formed through C-doping hindered dislocation slip and promoted the activation of multiple twinning systems.
