Dissimilar friction stir welding between 5052 Al alloy and AZ31 Mg alloy with the plate thickness of 6 mm was investigated. Sound weld was obtained at rotation
Both Mg-1Mn-3.5Y and Mg-1Mn-1Y-2.5Nd alloys (mass fraction, %) were extruded at 380 ℃. Most of the (10(1)0) crystal planes in the Mg-1Mn-3.5Y alloy are paralle
