Effects of RE Element Y on the Microstructure of ZM5 Mg Alloy
The effects of different Y contents on microstructure of ZM5 Mg alloy were investigated by optical microscope and SEM and EPA.It was found that 2[WTXT]%[WT]
Y addition can obviously improve the microstructure of the ZM5 Mg alloy.X ray diffusion and OM observation indicated as-cast microstructure of the alloy consitsts of α-Mg phase and net-like β-Mg

Y phase.SEM showed that ZM5 Mg alloy possesses the features of cleavage fracture while ZM5 Mg alloy containing Y has mixed fracture morphology of quasi-cleavage fracture and boundary fracture.The reason is that enhancing phase MgY and dispersely precipitated phase transform the fracture morphology.
