Abstract
Samples with compositions of 99 w/o MgH₂+1 w/o Zn(BH₄)₂ (designated MgH_2-1Zn(BH₄)₂) and 96 w/o MgH₂+2 w/o Zn(BH₄)₂₊2 w/o Ni (designated MgH_2-2Zn(BH₄)_2-2Ni) were prepared by milling in a planetary ball mill in a hydrogen atmosphere (reaction-involving milling). The hydrogen release properties of MgH_2- 1Zn(BH₄)₂ and MgH_2-2Zn(BH₄)_2-2Ni were compared. A larger quantity..... More

Abstract
In this work, MgH₂, Mg₂Ni, and Ni were added to Mg in order to improve the hydrogen-storage properties of Mg. A 84 wt% Mg + 10 wt% MgH₂ + 5 wt% Mg₂Ni + 1 wt% Ni sample (designated the Mg-based sample) was prepared by milling under a hydrogen atmosphere in..... More

Abstract
In this work, Mg₂Ni and Ni were added to MgH₂ in order to improve the hydrogen-storage properties of Mg. A 94 wt% MgH₂+5 wt% Mg₂Ni+1wt% Ni (named 94MgH₂+5Mg₂Ni+1Ni) sample was prepared by milling in a hydrogen atmosphere in a planetary ball mill for 5 h. The Mg₂Ni was hydrided during..... More

Abstract
Abstract: In this work, Zn(BH₄)₂ was added to improve the hydrogen-storage properties of MgH₂. A 99 wt% MgH₂+1 wt% Zn(BH₄)₂ sample was prepared by milling in a planetary ball mill in a hydrogen atmosphere. The proportion of the added Zn(BH₄)₂ was small (1 wt%) in order to increase hydriding and..... More

Abstract
For the applications in automotive, aircraft, aerospace, and electronic industries, the lightest structural Mg alloys have received much attention since 2000. There has been some progress for the improvement of the mechanical properties such as room temperature strength, formability and mechanical anisotropy. However, the high temperature strength of Mg alloys..... More

Abstract
In this work, niobium (V) fluoride was selected as an additive to heighten the hydrogen sorption rates of Mg. Specimens of pure Mg, 5 wt% niobium fluoride－added Mg, and 10 wt% niobium fluoride-added Mg were prepared by planetary ball milling in hydrogen. The hydrogen sorption properties of the specimens were..... More

Abstract
The effect of a small amount of added Mg on the microstructure, Fe-Al inhibition layer, corrosion resistance and welding properties of hot-dip galvanized and galvannealed steel sheets were investigated. Both the microstructure and distribution of Mg were measured by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, glow discharge spectrometer and electron..... More

Corrosion & Surface Treatment

Abstract
Pure Mg, Mg-5wt%Ca, and Mg-5wt%Ca-1wt%Zn alloys were cast, and their high-temperature oxidation behavior was investigated to determine the roles of Ca and Zn in oxidation. Ca and Zn additions refined the microstructure by formation of Mg₂Ca and Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃, respectively, at grain boundaries. Ca increased the oxidation resistance by forming a..... More
