Title: The effect of co-addition of La and Nd on microstructures and mechanical properties of squeeze-cast Mg-Al-Zn-La-Nd alloys
Author: P. Cui, Z. Ji, M. Hu, H. Xu, X. Zhang, T. Zhang

Abstract: The effects of co-addition of La and Nd on microstructures and mechanical properties of squeeze-cast Mg-Al-Zn-La-Nd alloys were investigated. Six squeeze-cast Mg-Al-Zn-La-Nd alloys with different La/Nd ratios were prepared. Microstructures, Vickers hardness and compression properties (in room temperature and high temperature) were investigated. The results reveal that the La/Nd ratio has a significant influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The microstructure, Mg17Al12 area fraction, Vickers hardness and compression properties of alloys with different La/Nd ratios are different. When the La/Nd ratio is 2/3, the alloy has fine grains, less Mg17Al12 phase content, and excellent mechanical properties. The present research indicates that adding dual REs with appropriate La/Nd ratio to Mg-Al-Zn alloy can effectively improve its performance.
