This paper reviews the outcome of bismuth and antimony trappings on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of an assortment of commercial magnesium alloys. Various compositions of the Bi and Sb were discussed along with/without combination of other alloying elements. These additions have revealed to be resulted in the formation of Mg3Bi2 , Mg3Sb2 intermediate phases when added upon with corresponding alloying elements. Moreover the reasons for the observed changes due to the addition of these alloying elements were also reviewed. It is found that the accumulation of Bi phase as well as intermetallics and Sb intermediates has greatly improved the microstructure belonging to the as cast magnesium alloys thereby improving both mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties. It is also observed in the review that addition of thesealloying elements acted as grain refiner and improved the corrosion resistance of commercial magnesium alloys.

CP-Ti, Ti 6A l 4V (ELI), and Ti 6Al 7Nb are often used for manufacturing osteosynthesis products or implants. However, researches have revealed that Al and V can have detrimental effects on the human body. Therefore, several Al- and V-free near-α and (α+β) titanium alloys have been developed on the basis of CP-Ti Grade 4+ (Ti 0.4O 0.5Fe 0.08C). They should possess similar or better mechanical properties than Ti 6Al 4V (ELI) combined with an improved biocompatibility and good corrosion resistance. O, C, Fe, Au, Si, Nb, or Mo have been used as alloying elements, which are either already present in the human body or are biocompatible. Several of the studied alloys show a strength and ductility fulfilling the requirements of Ti 6Al 4V ELI as specified in ASTM F136. For instance, Ti 0.44O 0.5Fe 0.08C 2.0Mo exhibits a YTS of approx. 1005 MPa, an UTS of approx. 1015 MPa, and an elongation at rupture of at least 17%. Therefore, one or more of the studied alloys are promising candidates for replacing Ti 6Al 4V ELI in osteosynthesis and implant applications.

Individual and combined additions of elements like Si, Sb, Sr are carried out to AZ91 alloy and its microstructure, mechanical properties especially creep properties and corrosion behavior are investigated. In general, additions of the above elements improve the mechanical properties. Further, the results show these alloying elements introduce thermally stable intermetallics and thereby improve the creep performance. Among various additions, Sb addition provides highest creep resistance. With the Si and Sr additions, the corrosion resistance of AZ91 alloy is improved. Detailed micro-mechanisms are also studied and they are correlated with the properties studied.

The weatherability of a weathering steel W450QN was compared with a carbon steel Q345 after 5 years atmospheric corrosion. The results indicated that the corrosion resistance was better for W450QN than Q345 based on the corrosion rate. The characteristics of the rust layers indicated the rust layer on W450QN was denser and thicker than that of Q345. The rust layers were mainly composed of goethite (α-FeOOH) with a few of lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH). W450QN had better weatherability attributed to the alloying elements of copper, chromium and phosphorus enriched in the rust layer.

Small amounts of minor alloying elements such as RE and Sr were added to Mg- 8wt%Al-5wt%Zn (AZ91D+4%Zn), and their effects on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were investigated. The microstucture of the investigated alloys could be characterized by dendritic Mg, Mg17Al12, a quasi-crystalline Zn-rich phase, and Al4RE (if RE is added). Although the tensile strength of alloys was not improved, the creep strength was significantly enhanced by the additions of minor alloying elements. No apparent influence of the additions could be found on the corrosion resistance.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys constitute an attractive structural material for transportation industries, due to their low density and high strength/weight ratio. However, high susceptibility to corrosion of Mg alloys limits their use. Therefore, there is a growing interest for development of new Mg alloys with good mechanical properties and superior corrosion resistance. Production of wrought Mg alloys results in enhancement of mechanical properties, whereas addition of alloying elements may result in improved corrosion behavior. In this study we distinguish the role of aluminum, zinc, tin and calcium additions on the corrosion performance of new wrought Mg alloys. Overall, addition of alloying elements resulted in precipitation of second phase particles with cathodic behavior (relatively to Mg matrix). This enhanced the micro-galvanic effects and the corrosion resistance in short periods of immersion was deteriorated. However, in longer periods of immersion the passive characteristics of the oxide layer played a significant role in improving the alloys' corrosion resistance. The contribution of each element to the oxide layer will be discussed in detail. In general, the quantities of alloying element should be sufficient to stabilize the corrosion products layer; yet as low as possible, in order to reduce the micro-galvanic effects.

Minor alloying elements such as RE, Sb, and Si were added to Mg-Al based commercial alloys and their effects on the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and castability were investigated.The result show that small amount of cerium-rich misch metal (RE) addition with antimony enhances the heat resistance of AZ91 alloy effectively without deteriorating other good properties. The addition of Si with RE was also found to improve the heat resistance and casting capabilities (fluidity and hot cracking resistance) of AM50 alloy.
