Effects of Nd/Gd value on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg–Gd–Y–Nd–Zr alloys

Four Mg–Gd–Y–Nd–Zr alloys were prepared by mold casting to investigate the effects of Nd/Gd ratios on microstructures and mechanical properties. The as-cast alloys mainly consist of α-Mg and β-Mg5(GdYNd). Volume fractions of the second phase increase and grains were slightly refined with the rising...
