The experimental results indicated that the addition of Sm could obviously refine the as-cast grains, modify the eutectic morphology and affect the mechanical properties of the alloys. The main phases in Mg-6Zn-xSm-0.4Zr alloys included matrix α-Mg, Mg2Zn3, Mg（41）Sm5 and MgZ nS m. With Sm content increasing to 4%, the MgZ nS m phase was created, meanwhile, the morphology of some eutectic phases revealed apparently lamellar structure, which had a bad effect on the mechanical properties. In addition, the maximum values of ultimate tensile strength（UTS, 214 MPa） and elongation（EL, 7.42%） were simultaneously obtained from the alloy with 2% Sm. However, Sm addition had no obvious effects on the fracture behavior of the alloys, namely, the fracture pattern of Mg-6Zn-0.4Zr alloy belonged to inter-granular and brittle modes while the fracture regimes of all the Sm-containing alloys were dominated by the mixture of inter-granular and trans-granular modes.展开更多
