The microstructures of both alloys,contained (Mg, Zn)3Gd phase at the interdendritic regions and long period stacking ordered (LPSO),phase distributed in the matrix. The Mg-10Gd-6Zn alloy consisted of a high volume fraction of,(Mg,Zn)3Gd intermetallic phases continuously distributed along the grain boundaries. The tensile,properties, especially the elongation to failure of the Mg-10Gd-6Zn alloy were slightly lower than,those of Mg-10Gd-2Zn. An enhancement in creep resistance was observed with Mg-10Gd-2Zn,alloy with the post creep tested microstructure showing dynamic precipitation. Corrosion studies,indicated that increased Zn content, from 2 to 6 % in Mg-10Gd alloys, significantly reduced the,corrosion resistance.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.765.28} (DOI).
