Abstract

Abstract: An effect of alloying element content on mechanical properties and precipitate formation in Mg–RE alloys was studied for Mg–8Gd–4Y–1Zn–0.4Zr (wt%) and Mg–10Gd–5Y–1.8Zn–0.4Zr (wt%). It is shown that small variations in the alloying element concentration can be used to manipulate the alloy microstructure and precipitate formation towards eliminating the asymmetry (tension/compression) and anisotropy of yield stress.
