Texture Hardening Observed in Mg–Zn–Nd Alloy Processed by Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP)

The addition of Nd significantly improves the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. However, only limited amounts of Nd or other rare earth (RE) elements should be used due to their high price. In this study, a low-alloyed Mg−1% Zn−1% Nd (ZN11) alloy was designed and process...
