The results of hot compression at 753 K showed that the AA-type samples had higher recrystallization fractions compared to the AS-type samples. However, the results of annealing at 673 K showed that sharp grain growth occurred in the AA-G13 and AA-GW94 samples and that the yield strengths were much lower compared to the AS-type samples. The exciting finding was the excellent thermal stability in the AA-GN103 sample, reflected by the conspicuous co-segregation of Gd and Nd solutes at the grain boundaries. The AA-GN103 sample had no obvious grain growth even after annealing over 300 min, and it exhibited the highest yield strength. Therefore, the mixed additions of Gd and Nd are strongly recommended for developing Mg-RE alloys with high strength and thermal stability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 5","pages":"2811 - 2824"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By reducing the length of the cracks, an optimization of the TGV irregularity can be achieved. Based on this, a physical model has been developed, which describes in detail the formation process of TGVs and explains the influence of laser-induced cracks on the TGV formation quality.
