Abstract

Read online

High-strength Mg alloys are often sought-after for automotive and aerospace applications, but they have an inferior corrosion resistance. Here, the authors develop a Mg-11Y-1Al (wt. %) alloy that shows both significantly improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
