The microstructure and mechanical properties of as cast AZ91Nd(neodymium) magnesium alloys were studied by microstructure analysis, mechanical property testing and analysis of fracture surface, where w(Nd) is 0, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%. The results reveal that the element Nd added into AZ91 exists in the forms of both solid solution and intermetallics Al11Nd3. It has great effects on refining grains of αMg and βMg17Al12 , depressing the precipitation of secondary βMg17Al12 and transforming the partially divorced eutectic into the fully divorced. Nd effectively improves the tensile strength, ductility and hardness of AZ91 alloy due to the effects of solidsolution strengthening, precipitation strengthening as well as finegrained strengthening.
