Simultaneously improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Mg-Li-Al alloy produced by severe plastic deformation

In this study, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of LA143 alloy specimens produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) were investigated. It was found that SPD was an effective way to simultaneously improve the Vickers hardness and corrosion resistance of LA143 alloy specimens in 3.5 mass% NaCl aqueous solution.
