摘要
Mg-Zn-Nd master alloy containing icosahedral quasicrystal phase with an interesting macro-shape has been prepared under conventional casting conditions. The microstructures and phases of Mg-Zn-Nd ternary alloy have been investigated by using SEM, EDS and TEM. The results show that the spherical phase in Mg-Zn-Nd master alloy is a simple icosahedral quasicrystal with stoichiometric composition of Mg40Zn55Nd5 and quasilattice a(R) = 0.525 nm. In this research, when the content of Nd is 1.20 at.% and atom ratio value of Mg/Zn at the range of 2.4-2.7, the as-cast solidification microstructure mainly consists of primary I-phase and Mg7Zn3 single-phase matrix.
