Notes:
The lightest density of Mg has stimulated renewed interest in Mg based alloys forapplications in the automotive, aerospace and communications industries. However, Mg in the pureform has relatively low strength, limited ductility and is susceptible to corrosion. Great efforts havebeen made to improve the mechanical properties of Mg alloys. Alloying Mg with other elements isone of the most important methods. An important class of Mg alloys is the Mg-Zn-RE system (RE =rare earth elements). In recent few decades, a series of new Mg-Zn-RE system alloys have beenobtained, and detailed the structure and mechanical properties of the alloys. In this paper, the structureand mechanical properties of the Mg-Zn-RE alloys have been summarized. It showed that these alloyshave high strength and they are prospected to be widely used in the future
