Magnesium alloys have found widespread applications in diverse fields such as aerospace, automotive, bio-medical and electronics industries due to its relatively high strength-to-weight ratio. However, stress corrosion cracking of these alloys severely restricts their applications in several novel technologies. Hence, it will be useful to identify the corrosion mechanics of magnesium alloys und...

Magnesium alloys have been used in the automotive industry and 3C (computer, communication, and consumer electronics) for many years. Their room temperature properties combined with their low density offer a wide range of applications, especially when processed by High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC). The use of magnesium alloys at higher temperatures is well-studied; special creep resistant alloys...

Magnesium-based materials are used primarily in developing lightweight structures owing to their lower density. Further, being biocompatible they offer potential for use as bioresorbable materials for degradable bone replacement implants. The design and manufacture of complex shaped components made of magnesium with good quality are in high demand in the automotive, aerospace, and biomedical ar...

This study characterized properties of Ti-6Al-4V ELI (extra low interstitial, ASTM grade 23) specimens fabricated by a laser beam melting (LBM) and an electron beam melting (EBM) system for dental applications. Titanium alloy specimens were made into required size and shape for each standard test using fabrication methods. The LBM specimens were made by an LBM machine utilizing 20 µm of Ti-6Al-...

The use of magnesium alloys is limited due to their susceptibility to corrosion although they have many attractive physical and mechanical properties. To increase mechanical and corrosion properties of these alloys, many deposition method and coating types are used. Electroless Ni–B coatings have received considerable interest recently due to its unique properties such as cost-effectiveness, th...

a review on the microstructural evolution in magnesium alloys during severe plastic deformation waspresented. the challenges deserved to achieve ultrafine/ nanostructured magnesium were discussed.the characteristics of the processed materials are influenced by three main factors, including i)difficult processing at low temperatures, ii) high temperature processing and the occurrence ofdynamic r...

The recent increase in number and capacity of special melting techniques and refi ning processes is related to the continuing growth of high-temperature alloy usage in wrought and cast form and to the fact that the metallurgical and technological potential of conventional melting and casting processes have been largely exhausted. The evol ution of the major melting processes for high-performanc...
