Popis: In this work, Mg65Ni20Y15–XAgX (X = 1, 2, 3, 5) alloys were manufactured by atmosphere controlled induction system. The effect of Ag ratio on the microstructural properties, micro-hardness, density, and homogeneity of the Mg–Ni–Y alloys were investigated. These alloys were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) and Vickers micro-hardness measurement. According to XRD results, Ni3Y and Mg6Ni phases were observed as well as AgY and Ag17Mg54 phases, which were obtained in alloys. The quantitative results of EDX analysis confirm that the chemical composition of the obtained phases is very close and their homogeneities are so high. The average micro-hardness values of the ingot alloys were measured between 208 and 266 HV for matrix. The elastic modulus and densities of the Mg65Ni20Y15–XAgX (X = 1, 2, 3, 5) alloys increased by increasing Ag in the alloys and they were determined in the range of 58.18–68.12 GPa and 3.14–3.53 g/cm3, respectively.
