... anisms to enhance the mechanical strength followed by behavior of magnesium alloys under different working conditions and applications. A brief overview of the recent and systematic outline is reported for improvement of mechanical by strengthening mechanism along with its applications. This work would be very much helpful for the researchers to find the best strengthening method on looking on its various aspects of design, environment friendly behavior and optimum utilization of resources with saving the natural resources.
