AbstractMg and its alloys are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, biomedical, communication industries due to their superior properties such as high specific strength, low density, good electromagnetic shielding, superior damping capacity, machinability and recyclability. Nonetheless, low wear and corrosion resistances are the main drawbacks limiting extensive usage of magnesium alloys. Moreover, low melting point of magnesium limits wide-range of applications at elevated temperatures [1,2].
