Evolution of Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Corrosion Resistance of Mg–2.2Gd–2.2Zn–0.2Ca (wt%) Alloy by Extrusion at Various Temperatures

The current investigation involved casting the Mg–2.2Gd–2.2Zn–0.2Ca (wt%) alloy (GZX220) through permanent mold casting, followed by homogenization at 400 °C for 24 h and extrusion at 250 °C, 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C. Microstructure investigations revealed that α-Mg, Mg–Gd, and Mg–Gd–Zn intermetal...
