Effect of applied pressure on microstructures of squeeze cast Mg–15Gd–1Zn–0.4Zr alloy

Microstructural evolution of Mg–15Gd–1Zn–0.4Zr (GZ151K, wt%) alloys, cast under 0 MPa (gravity cast) and 6 MPa (squeeze cast), were comparatively studied. It is found that the grain size of squeeze cast GZ151K alloy with applied stress 6 MPa is much smaller than that of the gravity cast counterpart....
