Abstract

Summary: The β phase in Mg‐Nd‐Y alloy, which forms during isothermal ageing, is proved to be Mg41 Nd5 by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS) results as compositional evidence and by atomic‐scaled high angle annular dark field–scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF‐STEM) direct images from [001] β, [ 11 1 ¯ ] β, and [ 3 ¯ 11 ] β as structural evidence.
