Examines mechanical properties in a magnesium alloy, revealing how processing enhances strength and ductility.

The study aims to explore processing techniques that improve the balance of strength and ductility in magnesium alloys.
Compared the effects of direct extrusion and multi-directional forging combined with extrusion on Mg-8Gd-4Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy.
Analyzed grain refinement and texture weakening due to multi-directional forging pretreatment.
Measured mechanical properties including ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.
MDF pretreatment reduced texture intensity from 11.14 to 3.98 and tilted basal planes by approximately 30°.
Achieved ultimate tensile strength of 315 MPa, yield strength of 228 MPa, and elongation of 13.1% in the as-extruded state.
Post aging, strength increased to 429 MPa while maintaining a ductility of 7.3%.
