Effect of Dy addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-4Y-3Nd-0.4Zr alloy

Minor Dy element was added into a Mg?4Y?3Nd?0.4Zr alloy,and its effects on the microstructure and the mechanicalproperties at elevated temperatures were investigated.Scanning electron microscope(SEM)and transmission electron microscope(TEM)were used to observe the microstructures.The results indicated that the as-cast eutectic and isolated cuboid-shaped Mg?REphases were Mg5RE and Mg3RE17,respectively,and distributed mainly along grain boundaries.After a solution treatment,theeutectic Mg5RE phases were dissolved into the matrix,whereas the Mg3RE17compound still remained.After peak aging,fineMg?RE phases were precipitated homogeneously within the matrix of the alloys containing Dy.Dy addition can result in asignificant improvement in the tensile strength at both room and elevated temperatures,and a slight decrease in the elongation.
