Embodiments of a magnesium (Mg) alloy and method for producing the same are disclosed. One such embodiment, among others, is a method for producing a magnesium (Mg) alloy, comprising the steps of: (a) producing a Mg powder aggregate by mixing Mg powder and at least one strengthening agent, the strengthening agent selected from: a carbon, a metal, and a combination thereof; (b) agglomerating the aggregate; and (c) sintering the agglomerated aggregate to produce the Mg alloy. Preferably, although not necessarily, steps (a) and (b) are performed using a ball mill. Moreover, the strengthening agent may be, for example but not limited to, carbon nanotubes, copper, tin, titanium, or silicon carbide. The resulting Mg alloy comprises nano-scale crystalline and/or micro-scale crystalline lattice structures and a yield strength that is at least as high as steel, exhibiting a yield strength that is about 320 MPa to 500 MPa. |
