Enhanced microstructural stability and mechanical properties of the Ag-containing Mg–Gd–Y alloys

The effect of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 wt% Ag addition on the microstructural evolution, thermal stability and mechanical properties of an Mg–5 wt% Gd–1 wt% Y (GW51) alloy was investigated. The as-cast microstructure of the base alloy consisted of the Mg5(Gd,Y) phase in the α-Mg matrix. The obtained results r...
