A combination of magnesium volatility and the controlled introduction of donor dopants alters defect populations, enabling a distinct mechanism that facilitates densification at reduced temperatures. Thermodynamic analysis identifies a regime near the magnesium boiling point in which volatilization becomes appreciable, resulting in localized magnesium loss at surfaces. Under these conditions, donor dopants promote the formation of magnesium vacancies, thereby shifting local defect equilibria. The coupled effects of magnesium vaporization and vacancy generation give rise to an interfacial state consistent with enhanced atomic mobility, leading to accelerated density increase that departs from conventional expectations based on equilibrium phase relations. In addition, samples processed near or above the characteristic temperature of magnesium exhibit behavior in thermal transport that is not solely determined by bulk lattice properties but is influenced by the interplay of volatility and defect state. Notably, materials processed via this mechanism demonstrate thermal transport performance that matches or exceeds that of reference single-crystal benchmarks, underscoring the effectiveness of this defect-mediated approach.

Light alloys, particularly aluminum and magnesium, have become pivotal materials.

Nevertheless, the complex physical metallurgy of large-scale structures remains insufficiently understood, which limits the formulation of process specifications and widespread industrial application. Particularly in chaotic filling environments, the intrinsic trade-offs among melt fluidity, solidification shrinkage, and mechanical integrity are difficult to control. To address these challenges, a comprehensive assessment of microstructural evolution and strengthening mechanisms under rapid solidification conditions is provided. Firstly, this paper reveals advanced strengthening mechanisms by detailing the decisive role of casting densification and nonequilibrium solute trapping in activating grain refinement, solid solution strengthening, and unique deformation twinning. Secondly, the distinctive technological evolution towards intelligent casting routes is clarified, demonstrating how thermal management and semi-solid technologies suppress internal porosity below 1.7% and elevate the ultimate tensile strength to the 250-450 MPa range. Furthermore, process optimization strategies are summarized based on material-process-intelligence synergy, including <em>in situ</em> sensing, millisecond-level artificial intelligence defect prediction, and digital twin frameworks.

The Sn@MXene layer was applied to magnesium metal batteries to improve performance. Results show that its strong hydrophobicity (contact angle of 132°) prevents direct contact between the aqueous electrolyte and the magnesium anode, effectively reducing side reactions such as hydrogen evolution and corrosion. In the symmetrical cell configuration, the Sn@MXene coating effectively suppresses passivation on the magnesium surface and significantly reduces interfacial charge-transfer resistance, leading to improved cycling stability and longer discharge duration. In full cell tests, the coating greatly reduces voltage hysteresis and battery impedance while extending the discharge plateau. Long-term cycling tests further confirm its ability to enhance charge-discharge stability.

Although the introduction of highly active catalysts effectively improves the kinetic performance of MgH₂, the catalytic mechanism of complex multiphase catalysts remains poorly understood, posing formidable challenges to the rational design of truly reversible catalysts. In this study, a highly-effective reversible catalyst Ni₉S₈/Fe₅Ni₄S₈ was constructed to extremely enhance both the hydrogen desorption and regeneration capability of MgH₂. Remarkably, at a mild temperature of 225 °C, MgH_2<img>Ni₉S₈/Fe₅Ni₄S₈ rapidly desorbs 4.13 wt.% H₂ in 3000 s. The composite also efficiently absorbs hydrogen at near-ambient temperatures, absorbing 4.0 wt.% H₂ in 7200 s at 45 °C. In contrast, ball‑milled MgH₂ alone hardly releases any hydrogen at 225 °C and shows almost no hydrogen uptake at 45 °C.

However, the unclear quantitative relationship between the RT formability and basal texture tilting degree of magnesium alloy sheet as well as the unrevealed intrinsic mechanisms linking them renders this strategy immature yet. This work comprehensively investigates the influence of basal texture tilting angle (BTTA) on the RT stretch formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets, as well as the plastic deformation mechanism operation and strain accommodation capability during forming process. The results show that the formability of every texture-effectively tilted sheet with a BTTA &gt; 0° is significantly improved as compared to that of initial sheet orientating the c-axis of most grains toward the normal direction. Moreover, the formability optimization effect exhibits a trend of initial increase followed by decrease with increasing BTTA, which is primarily attributed to the differential response behaviors of plastic deformation mechanism operation and strain accommodation to BTTA in the upper regions among these sheets. Given that BTTA is &gt; 0° but &lt; 60°, basal &lt;a&gt; slip dominates the plastic deformation. The positive correlation between formability gain and BTTA benefits greatly from the continuously enhanced initial basal slip ability and the reduced orientation hardening rate.

Additionally, the evolution pattern of thickness-direction strain accommodation capability (<em>r_avg.</em> value) with increasing BTTA is completely consistent with the I.E. value. Specially, due to the strong initial basal slip ability, numerous tension twins with soft orientation for basal slip formed during the early forming stage, the continuous orientation softening for basal slip in matrix and the highest thickness-direction strain accommodation capability, the sheet with a BTTA of 60° shows the optimal RT formability manifested as an I.E. value of 7.6 mm which represents a ∼217% enhancement compared to the initial sheet with a BTTA of 0°.
