on microstructure and ambient and elevated mechanical properties of the Mg-4Al-1S alloy have been investigated.It is found that the mechanical properties of the alloy with Nd addition can be significantly improved as a result of the refinement of grain size and creation of acicular high melting point Al11Nd3 phase.The ambient and elevated tensile strength of the alloy reaches 206 MPa and 138 MPa
respectively
with 2.0% Nd addition
compared with that of alloy without Nd addition
increased by 20% and 14%
respectively.With the further increase of Nd addition
the mechanical properties of the alloy are deteriorated due to the creation of bulk Al2Nd phase in the alloy.
