Abstract Mg–3Li–0.4 Zr alloys containing RE elements (Gd, La, Nd)(Mg–3Li–RE–0.4 Zr
alloys) are investigated to reveal the influence of homogenization treatment on …

Although body-centered cubic (BCC) structural magnesium–lithium (Mg-Li) alloys have
lower density and better formability than common hexagonal close-packed (HCP) Mg alloys …

In this work, the effects of Zn content (0–2 wt%) on microstructural evolution and mechanical
properties of cast Mg–10Gd–3.5 Er–0.5 Zr alloys are studied. The results show that the as …

The effect of Ti addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Mg-Gd-Y-Zn
alloys was investigated. Ti exhibited a refinement effect comparable to that of Zr in the as …

The effects of trace Er addition on the microstructure in Mg–9Zn–0.6 Zr alloy during casting,
homogenization, pre-heating, and hot extrusion processes were examined. The mechanical …

Mg-1.5 Zn-0.6 Zr alloys with 0–4wt.% Er addition were prepared by semi-continuous casting
and extruded. The effects of Er addition and extrusion temperature on the microstructure …

The effect of Zr, Mn and Mn+ Sc additions on the grain size of Mg–10Gd alloy has been
investigated and the grain refinement mechanisms are also suggested. The results reveal …

A novel method for the grain refinement of as cast Mg–1· 8Mn alloy by simultaneous addition
of trace Er and Al was developed. A series of Mg–Mn alloys with systematic additions of Er …

Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)
were performed to investigate the influence of homogenization on the microstructures of the …

The influences of rare earth (RE) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–
7Zn–5Al alloy were studied. The results indicate that both the dendrite and grain size of the …
