Comparative study of CaO and CaCO3 on microstructure refinement, mechanical and corrosion resistance of AM60 alloy

Grain refinement is a crucial technique for enhancing the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys. In this study, the addition of 0.3 wt% CaO and 0.3 wt% CaCO3 successfully refined the AM60 alloy, resulting in a significant reduction in the average grain size from 326 μm t...
