The mechanical properties and the corrosion behaviour were correlated with the microstructure. The 2 wt% Gd addition enhanced the ductility, while the Nd addition resulted in deterioration in mechanical properties. The corrosion behaviour was also enhanced with the addition of Gd.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2016.11.022} (DOI).
