Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr billet prepared by direct chill casting

High-quality Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr magnesium alloy billets with diameter of 200 mm were successfully prepared by direct chill (DC) casting. The results show that microstructures of the as-cast billet prepared by DC casting are mainly composed of equiaxed a-Mg and Mg12Nd eutectic compound distributing along th...
