TL;DR: An analytical model for predicting the yield strength of particulate-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites has been developed in this article, where the strengthening effects involving Orowan strengthening effect, enhanced dislocation density due to the residual plastic strain caused by the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the matrix and particles, and loadbearing effect have been taken into account in the model.

TL;DR: In 2018 and 2019, significant progress has been achieved in high-performance cast and wrought magnesium and magnesium alloys, such as Mg ion batteries, hydrogen storage Mg materials, bio-magnesium alloys and functional magnesium materials as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative contribution of three strengthening factors in particulate-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs), namely, loadbearing effect, enhanced dislocation density strengthening effect and Orowan strengthening effect, is evaluated.

TL;DR: More than 3000 papers on magnesium and magnesium alloys were published and indexed in SCI in 2020 alone as discussed by the authors, with the emerging research hot spots mainly on functional magnesium materials, such as Mg ion batteries, hydrogen storage Mg materials, structural-functional materials and bio-magnesium materials.

TL;DR: The work hardening properties of a friction stir welded (FSWed) magnesium alloy were evaluated using two modified equations of hardening capacity and strain hardening exponent where the elastic deformation stage was excluded.
