Application and Prospect of Rare Earth Magnesium Alloys

Magnesium and its alloys are known as "green engineering materials of the 21st century" because of their lightweight, biodegradable and recyclable characteristics. Magnesium alloys have excellent thermal conductivity, high specific strength and specific stiffness, good mechanical properties and recyclability. They have important applications and broad development prospects in the fields of national defense, military products, automobile production, electronic components, etc.

Magnesium alloys have low plastic deformation capacity at room temperature, poor corrosion resistance, low strength and creep resistance at high temperatures, and high costs, which to a certain extent limit the industrial application and development of magnesium alloys. Adding rare earth elements (RE) to magnesium alloys can form rare earth precipitation phases in the matrix, refine the grains, and improve the strength and plasticity of magnesium alloys through precipitation strengthening and grain refinement strengthening, and improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.

Nd is an important element to improve the performance of magnesium alloys. At present, the WE series of heat-resistant magnesium alloys containing Nd have been successfully commercialized and become important engineering materials. Nd plays an important role in both heat-resistant magnesium alloys and bio-magnesium alloys.
