Abstract

The phase compositions of solid Mg–Sm–Dy alloys corresponding to the magnesium-corner region of the phase diagram are studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy, electrical resistivity measurements, and electron microprobe analysis. The obtained results allowed us to determine the joint solubility of samarium and dysprosium in solid magnesium at 500, 400, and 300°C; it decreases with decreasing temperature. The magnesium solid solution is found to be in equilibrium only with the Mg41Sm5 and Mg24Dy5 compounds, which are in equilibrium with the magnesium solid solution in the binary Mg–Sm and Mg–Dy systems.
