  • Magnesium alloys having long-period stacking order phases
    Patent number: 10745782
    Abstract: Magnesium alloys comprising a long period stacking order (LPSO) phase having an 14H-i or an 18R-i structure are provided. The alloys comprise magnesium as a majority element, a first alloying element that is larger than magnesium and a second alloying element that is smaller than magnesium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2020
    Assignee: Northwestern University
