“…The ZGJL0.01-40-4 type induction melting furnace is used for melting; the crucible was made by corundum (Al 2 O 3 ); the pouring mould is 45 steel. SF 6 and CO 2 (volume ratio 1:99) mixed gas were used to protect the melt during the smelting process. The melting temperature is 720℃, heat preservation 5-8min, pouring temperature is 700℃.…”

“…Mg also has advantages such as high elastic modulus and specific strength, easy to process, good casting performance and so on [4,5]. But Mg easy to react with oxygen and only have three slip systems at room temperature, plastic deformation ability is poor [6,7]. The properties of Mg alloy improved mainly by alloying and heat treatment at present.…”

The effect of heat treatment on Microstructure and properties of Mg-11Gd-2Y-3Sm-0.5Zr alloy was studied though the method of alloy preparation, mechanical properties test and microstructure analysis. The results showed that the second phase disappeared gradually with the solution time increasing, the hardness of the alloy decreases rapidly, and then tends to be stable. As aging time increasing, dispersed second phase precipitates in the alloy, and the hardness of the alloy reached a peak value at 12h. The tensile strength of the aged alloy was increased by 44% compared with the as cast state, the elongation at break increased by 25.4%.
