Abstract:The alloys were prepared in Mg-rich corner of Mg-Zn-Ce system. Partial phase equilibrium relationships of these alloys at 350 ℃ were identified by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), electron probe microanalysis(EPMA), X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis and selected area electron diffraction(SAED) pattern analysis of transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Partial isothermal section of Mg-Zn-Ce system in Mg-rich corner was identified. The results show that there is one ternary compound (T-phase) in Mg-Zn-Ce system. The T-phase is a linear ternary compound in which the content of Ce is about 7.7% (molar fraction); while the content of Zn is changed from 19.3% to 43.6% (molar fraction). The crystal structure of T-phase is C-centered orthorhombic. In addition, one two-phase region of Mg+T-phase and one three-phase region of Mg+T-phase+MgZn(Ce) exist in the Mg-rich corner of Mg-Zn-Ce system at 350 ℃.
Key words: Mg-Zn-Ce system; phase equilibrium; two-phase region; three-phase region; T-phase
