Grain refinement and fatigue strengthening mechanisms in as-extruded Mg-6Zn-0.5Zr and Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr magnesium alloys by shot peening

This paper studies the fatigue properties and fracture behavior of as-extruded Mg-6Zn-0.5Zr and Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloys before and after shot peening. Compared to Mg-6Zn-0.5Zr alloy, Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloy shows higher optimal Almen intensity, and possesses a broader process window. The stress-contr...
