摘要： The microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ80 magnesium alloys with varying Nd, Gd contents were investigated. The results revealed that the as-cast microstructure of AZ80 alloy was composed of alpha-Mg matrix and divorced eutectic beta-Mg17Al12 phases. The fraction of Mg17Al12 phase was reduced when 0.6 wt.% Nd was added, and new rod-shaped Al11Nd3 phase and small block-shaped Al-Nd-Mn phase appeared. With Gd addition, the Gd elements mixed with Nd to form rare earth phases. New block-shaped Al2Gd and Al2Nd phases which were collectively called Al2RE phases were observed in the microstructure with more than 0.6 wt.% Gd addition. Moreover, the addition of Gd could promote the precipitation of block-shaped Al2RE phase, and inhibit the original rod-shaped Al11Nd3 phase. The AZ80-0.6Nd-0.6Gd alloy exhibited the optimal mechanical properties among all the experimental alloys, in which the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation were 215, 145 MPa and 8.33%, respectively.
