Rolling route for refining grains of super light Mg-Li alloys containing Sc and Be

Pioneering work on Sc or/and Be added Mg-Li alloys with refined grains was initiated.Various rolling-based thermo-mechanical treatments on these Mg-Li alloys were carried out.Four Mg-Li alloys were prepared by vacuum melting process.A unique route for producing fine grains was applied which concluded solution treatment at 350°C,cold rolling with 60% thickness reduction and 250°C annealing,successively.
