Popis: Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed to investigate the influence of homogenization on the microstructures of the Mg-7Gd-5Y-1MM (Ce-rich RE)-0.5Zr magnesium alloy. The results indicated that α-Mg, Mg 24 (GdY) 5 phase, Mg 5 (GdY) phase and Mg 12 MM phase coexisted together in as-cast alloy; the microstructures were largely characterized by α-Mg matrix and gray globular or elliptic ball Mg 12 MM phase, in addition to those with cubic block Mg 24 (GdY) 5 phase after homogenization; the reasonable homogenization regime was maintained at 530 °C for 32 h.
