Microstructure characterization of the AZ91 magnesium alloys with or without rare earth
element yttrium (Y) has been revealed by SEM, EDS and EPMA. Some Y-rich phases can be …

Adding trace amounts of Ti (0.01–0.02 wt.%) significantly changed the volume fraction,
morphology and size of the β phase in the microstructure of as-cast AZ61 alloy, despite its …

Indium (In) and yttrium (Y) can activate and alleviate the corrosion of magnesium alloy,
respectively. The effects of 1 wt% In and 1 wt% Y on the microstructure and electrochemical …

The microstructure of an AZ91D magnesium alloy mainly consists of Mg {sub 17} Al {sub 12}
phase and magnesium matrix. Although the Mg {sub 17} Al {sub 12} phase is a principal …

The influence of yttrium on the corrosion residual strength of an AZ91D magnesium alloy
was investigated detailedly. Scanning electron microscope was employed to analyze the …

The corrosion behaviour of two Mg–9Al–Ho alloys (Mg–9Al–0.24 Ho and Mg–9Al–0.44 Ho)
was evaluated by general corrosion measurements and electrochemical methods in 3.5 …

The influence of yttrium on the corrosion behavior of Mg–Y alloys has been investigated by
electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, X-ray …
