The results show that the solidification range of Mg-8Zn-4Al-xRE alloys increases with RE additions. A binary eutectic reaction can arise and produce a new phase （Mg：Al：Zn：RE） and the temperature of phase transformation point of the new phase is 412.85 C. In Mg-8Zn-4Al-1.5RE alloy, a small amount of Mg：Al：Zn：RE phase and ε phases are found besides a（Mg）,φand r phases. Also microstructures of Mg-8Zn-4Al alloys can be refined by addition of 1.5% RE obviously.展开更多
