The microstructure, aging behavior and mechanical properties of cast Mg–3Nd–3Gd–xZn–0.5Zr (x = 0, 0.5, 0.8, 1 wt%) alloys are investigated in this work. Zn–Zr particles with different morphologies form during solution treatment due to the additions Zn. As Zn content increases, number density also increases. Microstructural comparisons peak-aged studied indicate that varying could profoundly inf...
