Corrosion and mechanical properties of AM50 magnesium alloy after modified by different amounts of rare earth element Gadolinium

To improve the corrosion and mechanical properties of the AM50 magnesium alloy, different amounts of the rare earth element gadolinium were used. The microstructure, corrosion and mechanical properties were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy,...
