Ductility Improvement of Mg-Nd-Zr Cast Alloy by Trace Addition of Zn

Abstract:

This paper reports a significant increase in tensile ductility in solution-treated Mg-Nd-Zr cast alloy by trace addition of 0.2wt.% Zn. The improvement is accompanied by the occurrence of wavy slip lines on the surface of fractured tensile specimens, which are caused by the activation of non-basal slips including <a> and <a+c> or <c> non-basal dislocations, while these non-basal slips are hardly observed in Mg-Nd-Zr alloy without Zn addition.
