Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-4Zn-xGd (x=0, 0.5, 1, 2) alloys

The present work mainly focuses on the effect of minor content of Gd element on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn alloy. The Mg-4Zn-xGd (x=0, 0.5, 1, 2) alloys were fabricated and subjected to extrusion at 280°C with the ratio of 25:1. Results revealed that the addition of Gd cou...
