Grain refinement and improved mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-3Gd alloy by Zr addition

The influence of zirconium addition on the grain refinement and mechanical properties of an as-cast magnesium alloy was critically discussed. Results revealed that Zr significantly refined the grain size (d) from 358 μm in the base Mg-3Gd alloy to 23 μm with the addition of 0.8 wt% Zr, which was mor...
