The as-cast microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-3Ce-1.2Mn-0.9Sc and Mg-3Ce-1.2Mn-1Zn magnesium alloys were investigated and compared. The results indicate that the as-cast microstructure of Mg-3Ce-1.2Mn-0.9Sc alloy was mainly composed of -Mg, Mg12Ce and Mn2Sc phases, and that the as-cast microstructure of Mg-3Ce-1.2Mn-1Zn alloy was mainly composed of -Mg, Mg12Ce and MgZn phases. In addition, the as-cast tensile and creep properties of Mg-3Ce-1.2Mn-0.9Sc alloy were higher than that of the Mg-3Ce-1.2Mn-1Zn alloy. The difference of the two alloys in as-cast tensile and creep properties may be related to the initial microstructures of the two alloys.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of cold upsetting magnesium alloys were investigated upon anneal under different conditions. The results show that a large amount of twins were observed in the original grains of cold upsetting AZ31 magnesium alloys. The twins disappeared gradually and recrystal grains formed after anneal. The volume fraction of the recrystal grains increases as the strain of samples rises. Recrystal grain size grows large with the elevated annealing temperature. Recrystal grain size reduces at first and then grows as the annealing time is prolonged. In addition, compared with as-cast magnesium alloys, the yield strength of cold upsetting samples increase apparently due to grain refinement after anneals.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg-Zn-Er alloys have been investigated. The results show that the alloying elements (Zn/Er) with different ratio have a great effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the magnesium alloys, especially for the phase constitutes. Furthermore, the more attractive result is that the quasicrystalline phase, as the main secondary phase, precipitates during solidification in the alloy with addition of Zn/Er ration of 6. The cast Mg-5Zn-0.83Er alloy exhibits the ultimate tensile strength and yield tensile strength are 190MPa and 80MPa at room temperature, respectively, with an elongation of 15%.

In this paper, the effects of solution and aging on the microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ80 and ZK60 wrought magnesium alloys are investigated by optical microscope, electronic scanning microscope and mechanical testers. The result shows that both the tensile strength and elongation of AZ80 alloy increase firstly and then decrease with the increasing of the aging temperature, the peak values appear when the aging temperature is 170?C. The hardness of ZK60 alloy increases firstly and then decreases with the increasing of the aging temperature, and the hardness reaches its peak value at 170?C. However, the toughness of the alloy is just the opposite. Moreover, ZK60 alloy has good performances in both impact toughness and other properties at the aging temperature from 140 to 200?C.
