Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure of Mg-4Al-Nd Alloys

In the present work, Mg-4Al-xNd (x = 0, 1, 4 wt.%) alloys were prepared by a stir casting method, and the effect of the addition of Neodymium (Nd) as-cast and of heat-treated microstructures was studied. The addition of 1 wt.% Nd preferentially formed the Al2Nd phase and completely suppressed the fo...
