Effects of casting process on microstructures and flow stress behavior of Mg–9Gd–3Y–1.5Zn–0.8Zr semi-continuous casting billets

Mg–9Gd–3Y–1.5Zn–0.8Zr alloys own high strength, good heat and corrosion resistance. However, it is difficult for the fabrication of large-scale billets, due to the poor deformation ability and strong hot-crack tendency. This work investigated the casting process on the microstructures and flow stres...
