Effect of gadolinium on microstructure characteristics and strengthening mechanisms of Mg(‐Gd)‐Nd‐Zn‐Zr alloys by hot treatment

In this study, a quantitative analysis was performed to assess the respective contributions of gadolinium (Gd) addition and heat treatment to the strengthening of the Mg–3Nd–1Zn–0.5Zr alloy. The results indicate that gadolinium addition not only refines the grain structure but al...
