Abstract

Abstract:

Magnesium and magnesium alloy have broad application prospects in various fields such as aviation， aerospace， rail transit， and ocean engineering due to their low density and high specific strength. However， there are still significant challenges in further improving the service performance of magnesium alloy in complex environments. This paper reviewed the influence of extreme environments， such as high temperature， low temperature， high-speed deformation， and corrosion， on the microstructure of magnesium alloy and the changes in mechanical properties of magnesium alloy materials. Through induction and summary， specific strategies and suggestions for improving the service performance of magnesium alloy in complex environments were proposed， aiming to promote the service application of new magnesium alloy materials in related environmental fields and provide theoretical guidance for their large-scale application in both national defense and civil fields.
