Enhancing the creep resistance in a RE-free cast Mg-Al-Ca alloy through microalloying of Ti by Zhuang Cui, Yang Liu, Ying Zeng, Manping Liu, Xiaochun Liu, Shiwei Xu, Xuefei Chen, Qudong Wang

“…At the same time, the microalloying of Ti improves the solubility of Al and Ca in the matrix. It is reasonable to believe that the microalloying of Ti induced re-organization of Al2Ca precipitates, dissolved a larger amount of Al and Ca atoms into magnesium lattice, and increased the possibility of interaction between GB/dislocations and precipitates, which strongly correlates with the high temperature properties. …”

Evaluation System and Empirical Research of Strong Maritime Province by WANG Yuxuan, ZHOU Lu, MAO Hanxuan, FENG Chengyu, QIN Shili

“…Promoting the high-quality development of the marine economy has become an important starting point for coastal provinces (cities) to plan their layout, and the construction status of a strong maritime province also needs to be reflected by a more scientific and reasonable indicator system. This paper defines the basic connotation of a strong marine province, draws on the construction principles and methods of international and domestic marine economic development related indices, and systematically constructs an evaluation system for the construction of a strong marine province, and combining with the marine related data of Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2020, scientifically measure and objectively analyze the level, effectiveness, and potential of the construction of a strong marine province in Zhejiang Province by comprehensive evaluation method, and focuses on the distinctive highlights, growth points and breakthrough points of the construction of a strong marine province, putting forward the paths suggestions to promote the construction of a strong marine province in Zhejiang by researching, which provides methods and ideas for coastal provinces (cities) to carry out the assessment of the construction sataus of a strong maritime province during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period and plan the relevant sea-related strategies in the early stage of the “15th Five-Year Plan”.…”
