The microstructure indicates the mean grain size of 15 μm for the extruded and 100 μm for the as-cast Mg-5Y-7Gd-1Nd-0.5Zr magnesium alloys. The corrosion morphology of as-cast sample shows pitting corrosion and little filiform corrosion, but that of the extruded sample shows pitting corrosion at the initial stage. The corrosion rate of extruded sample is higher than that of as-cast Mg-5Y-7Gd-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy according to the immersion test. The second phases containing RE acting as cathodes improve the corrosion properties. The corrosion potentials of as-cast and extruded Mg-5Y-7Gd-1Nd-0.5Zr alloys are -1.658 V and -1.591 V, respectively. The origins of the distinctive corrosion behavior of as-cast and extruded Mg-5Y-7Gd-1Nd-0.5Zr Mg alloys were discussed.展开更多

In Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy, the β pre- cipitate phase was assumed to he one of the main strengthening phases in peak-aged samples. This study aimed to determine the crys- tal structure and orientation relationship of the β precipitate phase in Mg-7Gd-5Y-INd-0.5Zr alloy using transmission electron mi- croscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy. The results indicated that the β precipitate had a face-centered cubic structure with a lattice parameter of a=2.22 nm. The orientation relationship between the β precipitate phase and the ct-Mg matrix was （i-12）β（1-100）α, [110]β[0001 ]α. Theβ plates formed on prismatic planes could play an important role in alloy strengthening by proving effective barriers to gliding dislocations. A single β plate often contained several domains of （1 11）β twin-related variants. A composition of Mgs（Y0.4Gdo.4Nd0.2） was suggested for the β phase in Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy.展开更多
