Structural examination of aging precipitation in a Mg–Y–Nd alloy at different temperatures

Research Highlights
► β’’ and β’ precipitations in Mg-Y-Nd alloy cause significant hardening response.
► The OR between β’’ and matrix is [0001]Mg // [0001]β’’, [10-10]Mg // [10-10]β’’.
► The OR between β’ and matrix is {0001}Mg // {001}β’, {10-10}Mg // {010}β’.
