Abstract

Phase equilibria of the Mg-Gd-Zn system at 320°C are important because it has been reported that the aging treatment is carried out at that temperature. The phase equilibria at 320°C for the Mg-Zn side (x(Gd) < 50 at.%) were investigated with equilibrated alloys using electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. The partial isothermal section (x(Gd) < 50 at.%) was constructed. Eight ternary phases, τ1 to τ8, were observed at 320°C. The W phase (Gd2Mg3Zn3) which was found at high temperatures in the literature was not observed at 320°C. The analysis of the present data also indicates that the icosahedral quasicrystalline (I phase) in the Mg-Gd-Zn system is not stable. One important solid transition was found in the present work: the three-phase equilibria (Mg) + GdMg3 + GdMg5 and (Mg) + GdMg3 + τ1 at 500°C transform to (Mg) + GdMg5 + τ1 and GdMg5 + τ1 + GdMg3 at 320°C, due to the invariant reaction of (Mg) + GdMg3 → GdMg5 + τ1.
