In this study, we systematically investigated the deformation mechanism of an extruded Mg-4.83Gd-2.36Nd-0.21Zr alloy, which exhibited an obvious tensile yield plateau. Quasi-in-situ EBSD analysis revealed that basal slip was the predominant mechanism in the tensile yield stage, which was attributed to the weak rare earth texture that facilitated basal slip activation and the fine recrystallized grains that suppressed twinning. The yield drop resulted from the combined effects of the easy activation of basal slip and the dislocation pinning by solute atoms. Additionally, the random distribution of grain orientations, high grain boundary misorientation angles (GBMA), and small grain sizes hindered intergranular deformation transfer between neighboring grains. The weak deformation transfer contributed to the formation of yield point elongation. This work underscores the role of texture, grain orientations, and GBMA in determining the yield plateau, offering a new perspective on yield plateau formation in Mg alloys.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145043241","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}

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development and application of Mg-based medical devices, highlighting their evolution from traditional orthopedic, vascular, and dental uses to advanced systems that actively modulate physiological processes—a shift from passive support to active modulation. The application range of Mg-based devices has expanded from early vascular sutures, bone screws, and stents to multiple clinical fields including porous bone repair scaffolds, anastomotic staples, bioactive devices, and electro-active systems. Bioactive Mg devices demonstrate therapeutic properties including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and osteogenic functions through their degradation products, while electro-active devices utilize the electrical properties of Mg for sensing, monitoring, and therapeutic stimulation.

However, their poor corrosion resistance and high susceptibility to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) significantly limit broader application. In recent years, growing attention has been directed toward understanding the corrosion and EAC behavior of Mg-Li alloys, as localized corrosion areas and hydrogen generated during the corrosion process can serve as crack initiation points and promote crack propagation. A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms is essential for enhancing the reliability and performance of Mg-Li alloys in practical environments. This paper presents a detailed review of corrosion and EAC in Mg-Li alloys, focusing on corrosion behavior, crack initiation and propagation mechanisms, and the key factors influencing these processes. It summarizes recent advances in alloying, heat treatment, mechanical processing, microstructural control, environmental influences, mechanical loading, and surface treatments.

In this study, the synergistic effects of oscillating laser and Gd powder addition on ductility of laser-MIG hybrid welded magnesium alloy joints were investigated. Furthermore, the ductility enhancement mechanism was elucidated based on grain refinement and crack propagation behavior. The joint elongation was increased by 145.3 % while compared with that of non-oscillating laser welding. The stirring effect of oscillating laser and aggregation of high-melting-point precipitated phases (Mg, Al)<sub>2</sub>Gd resulted in the grain refinement. The plastic anisotropy of the weld was reduced due to the randomized grain orientation, which was induced by the homogenic weld microstructure. Consequently, the activation of 〈<em>c</em> + <em>a</em>〉 dislocation slip was enhanced, which was the key factor for plasticity improvement. During the crack propagation process, the grain orientation was rotated by twins and the geometric compatibility of adjacent grains was improved. Consequently, the crack propagation along the grain boundary was hindered efficiently. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of oscillating laser with power feeding welding technology and provide a valuable reference for enhancing ductility of magnesium alloy welded joints.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"58 30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144987572","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}

Although all samples exhibited similar DRXed grain sizes (5.0–6.5 µm) and fractions (76 %–80 %), they developed distinct c-axis orientations and mechanical properties. The P1 sample (350 °C, 0.1 mm/min) exhibited the lowest yield strength (∼192 MPa) but the highest elongation (∼18.2 %), whereas the P3 sample (400 °C, 0.6 mm/min) showed the highest yield strength (∼241 MPa) and the lowest elongation (∼14.2 %). The P2 sample (400 °C, 0.1 mm/min) demonstrated intermediate behavior (∼226 MPa, ∼17.7 %). These variations were primarily attributed to differences in c-axis orientations, particularly their alignment with respect to the normal direction (ND) and their slight deviation from the extrusion direction (ED). Microstructural analysis revealed that distinct DRX mechanisms were activated under different extrusion conditions. P1 predominantly exhibited twinning-induced dynamic recrystallization (TDRX) and continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX), whereas P3 primarily showed CDRX and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX). These DRX mechanisms, in combination with the activated slip systems governed by the evolving local stress state, collectively contributed to orientation rotation and texture development. During the early stage of extrusion, tensile strain along the ED promoted basal <<em>a</em>> slip, rotating the c-axes toward the ND. As deformation progressed, compressive strain along the ND became dominant. In P1, basal <<em>a</em>> slip remained active, aligning the c-axes along the ND and forming a smaller angle with the ED. In contrast, P3 exhibited predominant pyramidal <<em>c</em> + <em>a</em>> slip, resulting in a pronounced deviation of the c-axes from the ND and a slightly larger angle relative to the ED.
