ABSTRACT

In [267] kinetics and the phase transformations of the solid solution decomposition

were investigated in the alloys M g - 11.5 mass % Y - 0.6 mass % Z n and M g - 10.1

mass % Y - 1.2 mass % Zn . The alloys with Z n demonstrated in general the same character

of the decomposition kinetics as the binary M g - Y alloy containing about the same Y .

However, the second stage of the decomposition, which resulted in a steep hardness
