Dry tribological behavior of a cast Mg-Gd-Zr-Ag alloy at room and elevated temperatures

The hardness and wear resistance of cast Mg-6Gd-0.6Zr alloy were increased by the addition of 2 wt.% Ag. The microstructural studies of Mg-6Gd-0.6Zr–2Ag exhibited Ag-containing compounds within the α-Mg matrix. The addition of Ag increased the hardness by 20–30% at various temperatures up to 300 °C....
