title = "Comparative study of deformation and failure behavior of conventional and nanocrystalline magnesium alloys",
abstract = "Deformation and fracture behaviour of conventional Mg alloy (AZ91) and nanocrystalline Mg alloys (Mg-5%Al-5%Nd) were investigated using tensile and impact tests. The microstructures were examined with optical microscopy (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The fracture surfaces were observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of grain size on yield stress, elongation and impact energy were studied. The possible mechanism of plastic deformation in the nanostructured alloys was also proposed.",
