摘 要:Gadolinium (Gd) solubility in magnesium (Mg) matrix and precipitate composition in Mg-Gd binary alloys were investigated. The alloys containing different Gd contents (10wt.%-35wt.%) were employed to identify Gd solubility after annealing at different temperatures. It was confirmed that the maximum Gd solubility was 22.8wt.% at 550℃ based on the regression analysis method. Mg5+xGd (0<x<2) and Mg3Gd precipitates coexisted in all investigated alloys owing to the strong component segregation during solidification. The fraction of Mg5+xGd(0<x<2) was decreased with the increment of annealing temperature and time. In contrast, Mg3Gd precipitate could not be eliminated even when being annealed at 550℃. This thermal stable precipitate played a significant role in mechanical properties. Therefore, it is very necessary to consider the effect of Mg3Gd precipitate on properties of Mg-Gd based alloys in future.
