Abstract
This study investigates the effect of adding Al to Mg molten metal on the microstructural characteristics and hardness of Mg-Ti composites fabricated via a liquid metal dealloying (LMD) process. The addition of Al to the Mg melt significantly reduces the dealloying rate of Cu in a Ti₃₀Cu₇₀ precursor during LMD...... More

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of {10–12} twins on the aging behavior of an extruded Mg–8Al–0.5Zn (AZ80) alloy during aging at 150 °C. The extruded AZ80 alloy is subjected to a compressive strain of 6% along the transverse direction and is subsequently aged at 150 °C. The sample with {10–12}..... More

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of precompression and subsequent annealing on the tensile deformation behavior of a rolled AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature using digital image correlation (DIC). When the as-rolled sample (AR sample) is subjected to precompresssion along the rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD), the sample’s..... More

Abstract
An ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technique was applied to a 1-mm thick AZ31 magnesium sheet. UNSM is a relatively new surface modification technique in which a hard, hemispherical tip (2.38 mm in diameter) strikes the surface at an ultrasonic frequency to induce plastically deformed gradient microstructures and deep compressive.....

Abstract
In this study, the effects of rolling temperature on the microstructural characteristics of a highspeed-rolled Mg alloy with a non-basal texture were investigated. To this end, commercial AZ31 alloy samples in which the basal poles of most grains were tilted at an angle of 45° from the normal direction (ND)..... More

Abstract
The microstructure, tensile properties at room and elevated temperatures, and high-cycle fatigue behavior of an extruded Mg-7Sn-1Al-1Zn (TAZ711) alloy were investigated in comparison with those of an Mg-8Al-0.5Zn (AZ80) alloy extruded under the same conditions. The extruded AZ80 alloy exhibited a fully recrystallized structure, whereas the extruded TAZ711 alloy had..... More

Abstract
The effect of Al addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Mg-Sn based alloy is investigated by adding 1 wt% Al to the Mg-7Sn-1Zn alloy and indirectly extruding the billets with and without the Al addition. The Al addition promotes dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviour during hot extrusion, which..... More

Abstract
Heat transfer plays a critical role in the fabrication of high efficiency electronic devices. Double-layer clad metals consisting of stainless steel (STS) and aluminum (Al) alloy were fabricated by the roll bonding process, and their thermal conductivity was calculated using measurements of density, specific heat, and thermal diffusivity obtained by.....
