Funded Activity Summary

Super-formable magnesium and its alloys at room temperature. This project aims to reveal the origin of a new phenomenon that we recently discovered: intrinsically brittle magnesium becomes super-formable at room temperature when its grain size is reduced to about one micron. It will use state-of-the-art atomic-scale characterization and computation to determine the mechanisms underlying the phenomenon, and to explore some as yet uncharted dilute alloy composition territories for unprecedented formability. Expected outcomes are likely to form the scientific basis and a new pathway for designing and developing a new generation of wrought magnesium alloys.
