Microstructures and mechanical properties of the age hardened Mg–4.2Y–2.5Nd–1Gd–0.6Zr (WE43) microalloyed with Zn

The effect of trace addition of 0.2 wt.% Zn on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the age-hardening Mg–4.2Y–2.5Nd–1Gd–0.6Zr (wt.%) (WE43) alloy has been investigated. As compared with the WE43 alloy after solid solution treatment at 525 °C, the block-like Zn–Zr phase was still observed...
