Effect of addition of small amounts of samarium on microstructural evolution and mechanical properties enhancement of an as-extruded ZK60 magnesium alloy sheet

The microstructure, texture evolution and mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg-5.5Zn-0.8Zr (wt.%) (ZK60) alloy with 1 % Sm addition were investigated. The results showed that the as-extruded ZK60-1Sm alloy consisted of α-Mg, Mg2Zn3, Mg7Zn3, Mg41Sm5 and (Mg, Zn)3Sm phases. The addition of 1 %Sm pr...
