Phase Formation of Mg-Zn-Gd Alloys on the Mg-rich Corner

Abstract: The phase constitutions of as-cast magnesium (Mg)-Zn-Gd alloys (Zn/Gd = 0.25~60, Zn 0~10 at.%, Gd 0~2 at.%, 48 samples) were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Mg-Zn-Gd phase diagram focused on the Mg-rich corner (with up to 20 at.% Zn, 10 at.% Gd) has been set up. Five regions can be classified as follows: (I) α-Mg+W-phase+(binary compounds), (II) α-Mg+W-phase+I-phase(+binary compounds), (III) α-Mg+I-phase(+binary com… Show more

“…The intermetallic Mg 3 Zn 3 Gd 2 phase was observed only after 4 ECAP passes. The Mg 3 Gd phase normally shows a face-centered cubic structure like the W-phase having a lattice parameter of a = 0.74 nm [35,36]. The ne-grained microstructure observed after 4 ECAP passes is attributed to the high thermal stability of this Mg 3 Gd phase [37], which prevents grain coarsening during heating and processing of the sample by ECAP (Fig.…”

“…These ternary phases are the W-phase (Mg 3 Zn 3 Gd 2 ), I-phase (Mg 3 Zn 6 Gd), and X-phase (Mg 12 ZnGd) [25][26][27]. The W-phase is the most prevalent phase among them, occurring when the ratio of Zn to Gd is below 6 [28]. Furthermore, it was reported that when the atomic ratio of Zn to Gd was in the range from 1.5 to 40, the I-phase could form together with the W-phase [29].…”

“…In the past, alloying of safe elements, such as zinc (Zn), aluminium (Al), silver (Ag), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), neodymium (Nd), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), and calcium (Ca), were selected in response to increase the corrosion resistance and biological function of Mg [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Although the element Al in Mg composites improves mechanical properties, released Al + ions cause Alzheimer’s disease and muscle fiber damage [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. It was reported that Zr causes very serious diseases, such as liver, lung, and breast cancer [ 21 ].…”
