• Non-equilibrium solidification pathways of Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloys were analyzed.
• Microstructure and phase constitutions of Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloys were analyzed.
• Hot tearing susceptibility of Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloys was predicted by thermal analysis.
• Semi-solid formability of Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloys was evaluated by thermal analysis.
The solidification pathways of Mg–Gd–Y–Zr (GW) alloys with various Y and Gd concentrations were investigated by using a computer-aided cooling curve thermal analysis system, and the solidification microstructure and phase constitution of the investigated alloys were characterized by means of SEM, EDX, and XRD. The results show that the solidification microstructures of GW alloys are mainly composed of α-Mg matrix and eutectic Mg24(Gd,Y)5 phase, which forms through a univariant reaction: liq. → α-Mg + Mg24(Gd,Y)5 during alloy solidification. Based upon thermal analysis results, the hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) and semi-solid formability of Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloys were evaluated as well. It is predicted that the HTS of GW alloys first increases and then decreases with increasing Gd, Y content. Moreover, the increasing Gd, Y content also decreases the temperature sensitivity of solid fraction, −dfs/dT, of GW alloys, and thus, improves the semi-solid formability of these alloys.
