The phenomenon of high-temperature oxidation in magnesium alloys constitutes a significant obstacle to their application in the aerospace field. However, the incorporation of active elements such as alloys and rare earth elements into magnesium alloys alters the organization and properties of the oxide film, resulting in an enhancement of their antioxidation capabilities. This paper comprehensively reviews the impact of alloying elements, solubility, intermetallic compounds (second phase), and multiple rare earth elements on the antioxidation and flame-retardant effects of magnesium alloys.

However, only a few types of macromolecular materials are suitable for 3D printing: the structure must have a single function, and manufacturing macromolecular functional devices is difficult. In this study, using poly lactic acid (PLA) as a matrix, conductive composites were prepared by adding various contents of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
