However, rapid degradation and loss of mechanical strength remain critical issues. To tackle these challenges, in this study, liquid metal gallium (Ga), which possesses non-toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, moderate chemical reactivity, and superior alloying capability, was used to develop a novel Mg alloy coating that can simultaneously enhance mechanical strength, reduce the degradation rate, and provide antibacterial and osteogenic properties. A unique, simplified coating process applied liquid Ga to the surface of ZK60 Mg alloy, and coatings of varying thicknesses were successfully fabricated. The phase composition of the Mg-Ga alloy layers was identified mainly consisting of Ga₅Mg₂ and Ga₂Mg. Vitro corrosion tests demonstrated that surface alloying of Ga with ZK60 effectively suppressed the degradation rate of the Mg alloy. Prolonged Mg-Ga alloying time improved human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) adhesion, spreading, proliferation, and differentiation. The Mg-Ga alloy layer positively affected the early differentiation of osteoblasts and extracellular matrix mineralization, upregulating the expression of osteogenic-related genes and inhibiting osteoclast activity. Additionally, the Mg-Ga alloy exhibited excellent antibacterial properties through a combined effect of ion release and the formation of an alkaline environment. In short, the Ga-coated ZK60 Mg alloy demonstrated superior corrosion resistance, structural stability, cellular compatibility, osteogenic performance, and antibacterial capability, providing strong support for applying Mg alloys in medical implants.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143495931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on both commercial AZ31, AZ91, WE43 and formulated Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloys with various rare earth elements (REEs) contents. The research integrates experimental methods, heating rate simulations, advanced image processing, and machine learning (ML) techniques to identify key mechanisms that enhance ignition resistance, particularly for aerospace and other industrial applications. A novel alloy composition, Mg-8Gd-6Y-0.6Zn-0.6Zr, demonstrated exceptional non-combustibility in air. The study is systematically to classifies the combustion process into distinct phases and surface morphologies by leveraging supervised and unsupervised learning models based on unseen heating rate features. Advanced image processing techniques reveal dynamic surface morphology changes, including thermal deformation, melting spots, gas bubble formation, and transformations during saturation and post-melting phases, while unsupervised ML models also validate these outstanding predictions of surface morphology features. Additionally, the research highlights the synergistic effects of REEs in forming dense, protective oxide layers, refining microstructures, and delaying ignition. This phase-based analysis provides the combustion behavior of magnesium alloys, which is crucial for evaluating their performance in industrial fire scenarios.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143192539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While its anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry have been thoroughly studied under uniaxial loading, the understanding for shear loading is still lacking. This study employed a rolled AZ31B plate with typical basal texture to investigate the shear behaviors. Positive and negative simple shear experiments were performed at different angles in the transverse plane, whereby the visco-plastic self-consistent model was calibrated to reveal the deformation mechanisms and predict the mechanical responses at various orientations. Positive-negative shear asymmetry is present because extension twinning preferentially operates in one shear direction but is suppressed in the opposite direction. Simple shear induces multiple twin variants, thus impedes twin growth and slows the consumption of matrix, as compared to in-plane compression. For slip dominated simple shear, the interaction between loading-induced rigid body rotation and slip-induced crystal rotation produces distinct hardening behaviors, namely orthogonally asymmetric mechanical responses at complementary loading angles, which is largely absent in uniaxial loading. Finally, simulation results verify that positive-negative shear asymmetry appears only when the deviatoric normal stress on the sheet plane is non-zero. Positive-negative shear asymmetry persists except for the conditions of shear plane parallel to sheet plane, or shear direction parallel or perpendicular to rolling direction.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143083121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How the effect of different metal-reinforcement phases on the PEO discharge and coating growth behavior of Mg-matrix composites remains unclear. In this work, the influence of three metal-reinforcement phases (Nb, Mn, and Cu) on voltage evolution, coating morphology, coating phase composition, and corrosion resistance was investigated. The results indicate that Nb-reinforcement undergoes continuous spark discharges, resulting in the formation of a “volcano-like” localized morphology. In contrast, Mn and Cu-reinforcements do not directly participate in PEO discharges; instead, their oxidation products form “nodule-like” protrusions that limit the voltage rise rate. These behaviors are attributed to differences in the properties of the oxidation products of metal reinforcements and the Mg matrix, such as stability, Pilling–Bedworth ratio (PBR), band gap, dielectric constant, and conductivity. These characteristics influence the electrical structure of the PEO coating, thereby altering the PEO discharge and coating growth behavior of the composites. Finally, two models are proposed to describe the PEO discharge mechanisms in the two types of metal-reinforced AZ91-based composites.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"77 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143083122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their high thermodynamic stabilities and slow kinetics lead to relatively high desorption temperatures, which severely limit the wide application of MgH₂. In this study, the inclusion of vanadium induced the formation Ni-Co metal–organic frameworks (MOF) from a NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH), thereby increasing the number of defects and vacancies, and improving the hydrogen storage properties of MgH₂. The synthesized NiCo-MOF/V-O-doped MgH₂ system demonstrates excellent hydrogen storage capacity. More specifically, 5 wt.% of H₂ was released over 20 min at a relatively low dehydrogenation temperature of 250 °C, and almost complete dehydrogenation was achieved at 300 °C for 5 min. In addition, at 125 °C, the hydrogen storage material absorbed 5.5 wt.% H₂ in 10 min. Furthermore, the activation energy of dehydrogenation was determined to be 69.588 ± 6.302 kJ ·mol⁻¹ which is significantly lower than that of the ball-milled MgH₂ (i.e., 118.649 ± 2.825 kJ ·mol⁻¹). It was therefore inferred that during dehydrogenation process, a Mg₂Ni/Mg₂NiH₄ hydrogen pump is formed by Ni, while the V-H and Co-H bonds formed by Co and V during the reaction act synergistically to catalyze the absorption and desorption of hydrogen, thereby increasing the hydrogen storage capacity of MgH₂. These experiments provide new perspectives on the commercial application of MgH₂.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, non-uniform microstructures and coarse secondary phases in conventional casting methods hinder the effectiveness of these treatments, leading to reduced ductility, inconsistent properties, and prolonged durations. To overcome these challenges, this study introduces the Strain Integrated Gas-Infusion (SIGI) casting process that integrates strain and gas infusion in the semi-solid state. The impact of the SIGI process on the solution treatment and aging kinetics of AZ91 Mg alloy is explored. The SIGI process refines α-Mg and β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phases, significantly enhancing mechanical properties. Experimental and quantitative analyses reveal that the SIGI process accelerates solute atom dissolution, reducing solution treatment times by half, and promotes faster nucleation and growth of precipitates during aging, shortening aging times by one-third. These improvements result in substantial gains in ultimate tensile strength (∼40–50%) and ductility (∼20–30%) after age hardening compared to conventional casting. The mechanisms driving these changes, including enhanced nucleation rates, reduced diffusion distances, and microstructural refinement, are discussed. These findings demonstrate the potential of the SIGI casting process to advance magnesium alloy performance for engineering applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"13 2","pages":"Pages 858-876"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
