Enhancing the ductility of cast Mg-Li alloys via dispersed α-Mg phase mitigating the dimension and distribution of interspersed eutectics along grain boundaries by Yu Wang, Ziyang Xia, Jingpeng Xiong, Gang Zeng, Penghao Wang, Lan Luo, Ruizhi Wu, Jian Wang, Yong Liu

“…Mg-Li alloys with high lithium concentrations possess a lightweight body-centered cubic (BCC) matrix structure (β-Li). Interspersed eutectics (primarily the reticulated I-phase) often form along phase boundaries (PBs) and grain boundaries (GBs) which strengthen the alloy but cause the loss of ductility due to the brittle behavior of I-phase. …”
