According to recent research published in the journal Metallurgical and Materials Transactions a - Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science, "Atom probe tomography (APT) has been carried out on three magnesium-based alloys: M1 (Mg-1 wt pct Mn), AZ31(Mg-3 pct Al-1 pct Zn), and ME10 (Mg-1 pct Mn- 0.4 pct misch metal). The aims of this experiment were to measure the composition of the matrix and to investigate solute clustering in the matrix of the three different alloys."
"For AZ31, the matrix composition was variable but close to the bulk composition. For ME10 and M1, the matrix was depleted in alloying additions, with the remainder residing in precipitates. Most ...
