The results show that the increase of Zn content results in the volume fraction of W-phase(Mg3 Zn3 Gd2) increasing while that of Mg3 Gd phase decreasing. The strength of Mg-8 Li-xZn-1 Gd alloys is improved with the increase of Zn content,which is ascribed to the second phase strengthening of fine strip-like W-phase and the solid solution strengthening of Zn element.For Mg-8 Li-4 Zn-yGd alloys,the increase of Gd content leads to the appearance of coarse and discontinuous net-like W-phase, which decreases the strength. The Mg-8 Li-4 Zn-1 Gd alloy exhibits an optimum comprehensive performance with the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation of 154.7 MPa, 197.0 MPa and 12.4%, respectively. In addition,the aging behavior of the typical alloys was also investigated.展开更多
