EFFECTS OF LOW-LEVEL ER ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE, MECHANICAL AND ANTI-CORROSION PROPERTIES OF MG-1ZN-0.3ZR ALLOY

Effects of low-level Er on the microstructure, mechanical and anti-corrosion properties of Mg-1Zn-0.3Zr alloy

To enhance the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of biodegradable Mg alloys, varying 6.66 amounts of Er (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 wt%) are added to the Mg-1Zn-0.3Zr alloy in this study.The phases of Mg3Er2Zn3 and MgEr are observed after Er doping.As the Er content increases, there is a progressive reduction in grain size, accompanied b
