Abstract

Long Period Stacking Order forming Mg-Rare Earth-Zn alloys have attracted much interest due to high strength in the cast and wrought conditions. These alloys may find niche applications where high strength and thermal stability are desired for lightweight components. This presentation will detail the recent results of a production run Mg–Gd–Y–Zn–Zr alloy, cast and extruded at scale with 380 MPa tensile strength. Aging studies post extrusion and post forging resulted additional strengthening. Microstructure as well as extrusion and forging conditions will be linked to equilibrium phase diagrams.
