Strong, Ductile, and Thermally Stable bcc-Mg Nanolaminates

Abstract Magnesium has attracted attention worldwide because it is the lightest structural metal. However, a high strength-to-weight ratio remains its only attribute, since an intrinsic lack of strength, ductility and low melting temperature severely restricts practical applications of Mg. Through i...
