A distinctive characteristic of Fe-Mg systems is their mutual immiscibility in thermodynamic equilibrium, which poses significant processing challenges and explains why Fe-Mg alloys have been relatively unexplored. However, it is precisely this immiscibility that offers the opportunity to achieve a metastable state that potentiates degradation.
