Abstract Magnesium is utilized as a light-weight metal in the aerospace and automotive industries, and recently draws a lot of attention in biomedical research due to its biodegradable and biocompatible properties [1–3]. With Zinc being a biocompatible element, magnesium-zinc alloys have been very attractive for such applications. Mechanical properties including yield strength, tensile strength and hardness values of magnesium alloys are reported to be improved with the adding of alloying elements such as Zn, Zr, Al, Y and some rare earth elements. In our study we observe the improvement of mechanical properties Vicker’s Hardness (VH) for Mg-Zn-Ca alloys with a fixed content of calcium and varying amounts of zinc alloying elements. Potential Outcome: Potentially new developed alloys could be used for lightweight materials for aerospace, automotive, and biomedical application.

This paper reviews the phase structures and oxidation kinetics of complex Ti-Al alloys at oxidation temperatures in the range of 600–1000 °C. The mass gain and parabolic rate constants of the alloys under isothermal exposure at 100 h (or equivalent to cyclic exposure for 300 cycles) is compared. Of the alloying elements investigated, Si appeared to be the most effective in improving the oxidation resistance of Ti-Al alloys at high temperatures. The effect of alloying elements on the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys is also discussed. Significant improvement of the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys by element additions has been observed through the formation of new phases, grain refinement, and solid solution strengthening.

As a light-weight material with high stiffness and strength, cellular metal has attracted a lot of attentions in the past two decades. In this paper, the structure and mechanical properties of aluminum cellular metal with periodic cubic cells are studied. The aluminum cellular metal is fabricated by sheet metal stamping and simple adhesion. Two sizes of specimens with cell sizes of 3mm and 5mm are fabricated. Their relative density and mechanical properties are tested by means of experiments. The results show that the cubic-cell cellular metal has high and predictable strength and hence, can be used for many practical applications.

This paper investigates the effect of Fe, Cr and B additions, in small proportions, as alloying elements in Ni3Al with the purpose to reduce its intrinsic fragility and extrinsic embrittlement and to enhance, in the same time, its mechanical properties. It represents a development of some previous research works of the authors, proving that Ni3Al-Fe-Cr-B alloys obtained by reactive synthesis (SHS) starting from Mechanically Alloyed powder mixtures have superior both room temperature tensile strength and ductility, and compression ones at temperatures up to 800 °C, than pure Ni3Al. These create premises for their using as superalloys substitutes.
