Microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of the rolled high modulus Mg-Y-Zn-Al-Li alloy

In our previous work, we designed a new as-cast Mg–Y–Zn–Al–Li alloy with a high elastic modulus of 52.9 GPa. The alloy was further subjected to hot deformation under different rolling reductions (40% and 80%) in this work. The microstructure evolution, texture and mechanical properties of Mg–Y–Zn–Al–Li alloy compared with Mg–Y–Zn alloy were systematically investigated. The result showed that the Mg–Y–Zn–Al–Li alloy with a rolling reduction of...
