Simulation of correlated evolution of precipitates in Mg-Y-Nd alloys and the precipitation strengthening mechanism KU Leuven
As the lightest structural metallic materials, magnesium - rare earth (Mg-RE) alloys have received considerable attention worldwide for their large potential applications. However, their strength needs to be increased, which can be achieved through precipitation hardening. Understanding the formation of precipitates and their strengthening mechanism is critical for improving the Mg-RE alloys. In this project, we will reconstruct two models: a ...
