Corrosion resistant and high-strength dual-phase Mg-Li-Al-Zn alloy by friction stir processing

Mg-Li alloys are attractive for their low density, yet typically suffer from limited strength and rapid corrosion. Here, both these issues are addressed in a Mg-Li-Al alloy by friction stir processing followed by liquid CO2 quenching, resulting in a durable microstructure.
