“…Among these phases, the quasicrystalline I-phase with its quasiperiodic lattice structure has attracted a lot of attention because of its unique properties as high hardness, thermal stability, high corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient and strong bonding with the magnesium matrix [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Despite of the good properties of these new Mg alloys, an additional increase of strength is required to replace Al alloys in structural applications.…”

The as-cast microstructure of Mg-5Al-3Ca-xNd alloys consists of equiaxed -Mg matrix, (Mg, Al) 2 Ca eutectic phase and Al-Nd rich intermetallic compounds. With the increase of Nd addition, -Mg matrix morphology was changed from dendritic to equiaxed grains due to suppression of grain growth by formation of homogeneous intermetallic compounds containing Nd dispersed at grain boundary and -Mg matrix. And the grain size of as-cast alloys was decreased as addition of Nd was increased. This eutectic phase of the extruded alloys was elongated to extrusion direction and size of this phase was redined comparing to that of as-cast alloys because of severe deformation during hot extrusion. Maximum yield and ultimate tensile strength value of the as-extruded alloys was 322 and 335 MPa at Mg-5Al-3Ca-2Nd alloy, respectively.

“…2,4,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Nd has similar roles to Y in Mg-Zn-Zr alloys and can partially replace Y in the Mg-Zn-Y ternary phases. 24) So for the Nd-containing Mg-Zn-Y alloys, such as the ZW21 alloy, the Zn/Y ratio should be Zn/RE (RE includes Y and Nd).…”

The effects of Nd or Zr addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of casting Mg-Zn-RE alloy have been investigated. The results indicate that the optimum contents of Nd and Zr are 0.5% and 0.3% respectively. The less or higher contents all increase grain size and accelerate the formation of shrinkage porosity, and thus decrease tensile properties and change fracture regime from transgranular mode to intergranular mode during tensile tests. The Mg-Zn-RE ternary phases transform from W (Mg 3 Zn 3 (Nd,Y) 2 ) in turn into W + Z (Mg 12 Zn(Nd,Y)) and Z as the Nd content increases and their distribution gradually changes from small discontinuous lath form to continuous network form. The grain bonding strength of an alloy with a certain amount of W phase that distributes in a discontinuous form is high than that of the alloy with the Z phase, and thus the W phase is an ideal strengthening phase. The alloy with 0.5 Nd and 0.3% Zr, named ZW21 alloy, has the smallest grains and highest grain bonding strength, and so has the highest comprehensive mechanical properties.
