The present paper is an attempt to use ultrasonic velocity measurements to characterize the texture of an aluminum-magnesium alloy ( Al 5xxx ) and to compare the results with orientation imaging microscopy ( OIM ) results. The results are characterized in terms of three orientation distribution coefficients ( ODC's ), W400 , W420 , and W440 , each of which describes a particular forming anisotr...

Designing the new microstructure is an effective way to accelerate the biomedical application of magnesium (Mg) alloys. In this study, a novel Mg-8Er-1Zn alloy with profuse nano-spaced basal plane stacking faults (SFs) was prepared by combined processes of direct-chill semi-continuous casting, heat-treatment and hot-extrusion. The formation of SFs made the alloy possess outstanding comprehensiv...

Magnesium alloy is the lightest practical metal. It has excellent specific strength and recyclability as well abundant reserves, expected to be a next-generation structural metal material following aluminum alloy. This paper investigated possibility of thin plate fabrication by applying overheating treatment melt drag method, investigating surface shape plate, grain size, size distribution, Vic...

Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, needs to improve its strength and formability at room temperature for commercialization. Manganese is an alloying element that can of magnesium through forming intermetallic compounds. However, effect on has not yet been clarified. To identify effect, interatomic potential Mg–Mn binary system developed basis second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-ato...

Magnesium alloy, copper and other light alloys are widely used in aerospace, new energy vehicles, lightweight manufacturing fields due to their excellent mechanical properties, but the connection between has always been a challenge. Ultrasonic welding is an advanced technology that can realize high-strength heterogeneous alloys. In this study, ultrasonic AZ31B magnesium pure carried out. The fr...

magnesium and its alloys are light, biodegradable, biocompatible metals that have promising applications as biomaterials. magnesium is potentially useful for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. however, the corrosion rate of this metal is so high that its degradation occurs before the end of the healing process. one of the ways to improve the corrosion rate is to compose it’s with ceram...
