Magnesium-yttrium-gadolinium casting alloy is made by melting metal magnesium, Gadolinium, and metal yttrium. The common alloy ratio is 20-70% magnesium, and the ratio can also be customized. The magnesium-based master alloy has a uniform and stable composition, which can meet the requirements of magnesium alloy composition, microstructure regulation, and performance improvement. Static cast finished products are available in a variety of forms including full or cut waffle ingot and notch bar ingot. Magnesium Yttrium Gadolinium (Mg-Y-Gd) Master Alloy master alloys are also available in the shot, screened and sized to specification and in bagged shot.
