Regulating Precipitates by Simple Cold Deformations to Strengthen Mg Alloys: A Review

Regulating precipitates is still an important issue in the development of high-strength Mg alloys, due to it determining the precipitation hardening effect. Cold deformation, as a simple and low-cost method, can remarkably influence the precipitate features. It is found that pre-cold deformation bef...
