Abstract
Microstructure and phase composition studies of QE-22 magnesium based alloy with 2–3% Ag, 1.8–2.5% Nd and min. 0.4% Zr, before and after full heat treatment have been carried out using various electron microscopy techniques like EDX mapping, line scans and TEM with SAED. An extrapolation technique enabled to eliminate the influence of Mg-matrix on the quantitative analysis results and allowed to estimate the composition of the second phase which was mostly (Mg, Ag)12Nd type in the as cast alloy and (Mg, Ag)12Nd and Mg12Nd2Ag equilibrium precipitates after the precipitation process.
