Effect of precipitates on microstructures and properties of forged Mg–10Gd–2Y–0.5Zn–0.3Zr alloy during ageing process

Precipitates formed in the as-forged Mg–Zn–RE alloy during ageing process at 250°C

“…analyses. Also, we would like to give our thanks to the scientists of the reference [16] for providing of the images in …”

“…The β′ phase precipitates along 1120 n o α of Mg matrix and has three variants around [0001] α zone, as shown in Fig. 7 (a) and (c) [16,17]. The orientation relationships between β′ phase and Mg matrix are [0001] α //[001] β′ and 2110 n o α//(100) β′ .…”

Effect of Ti and Zr Combined Modification on Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 Alloy Containing LPSO and W Phases

“…[4] When the Y/Zn atomic ratio is more than 1, the LPSO phase forms. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the large quantities of Y (>12 wt%) in the above alloys increases the cost of these Mg-Y-Zn alloys significantly, thus limiting their industrial applications. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the large quantities of Y (>12 wt%) in the above alloys increases the cost of these Mg-Y-Zn alloys significantly, thus limiting their industrial applications.…”

“…[5] The researchers have developed a series of Mg-Y-Zn alloys containing LPSO with high performance. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the large quantities of Y (>12 wt%) in the above alloys increases the cost of these Mg-Y-Zn alloys significantly, thus limiting their industrial applications. In the lower Y containing Mg-Y-Zn alloys, the strengthening phases occur in the form of W and I phases.…”

Effect of Zn on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg–7Gd–3Y–1Nd–0.5Zr alloy

“…Magnesium alloys have been applied extensively to mobile electronics, automobile parts, and aerospace because of the increasing demand for their lightweight and improved fuel efficiency [1][2][3][4][5].…”
