Grain Refinement and Aging Hardening of the Mg-10Gd-3Y-2Ag-0.4Zr Alloy Produced by a Two-Step Forming Process

Grain refinement and precipitation are two effective ways to improve the mechanical properties of Mg-RE alloys. In this work, a two-step forming process is proposed. This includes cold rolling and subsequent annealing at high temperature for a short duration. By the two-step forming process, grains...
