The results indicate that the Mg-3Sn-2Sr ternary alloy is mainly composed ofα-Mg, primary and eutectic SrMgSn, and Mg2Sn phases. After the additions of 1.0%Ce, 1.0%Y and 1.0%Gd to the Mg-3Sn-2Sr alloy, the Mg12Ce, YMgSn, GdMgSn and/or Mg17Sr2 phases are formed, respectively. At the same time, the formation of the primary SrMgSn phase is suppressed and the coarse needle-like primary SrMgSn phase is modified and refined. In addition, the additions of 1.0% Ce, 1.0% Y and 1.0% Gd to the Mg-3Sn-2Sr alloy can simultaneously improve the tensile and creep properties of the alloy. Among the Ce-, Y-and Gd-containing alloys, the tensile properties of the Ce-containing alloy are relatively higher than those of the Y-and Gd-containing alloys.展开更多
