Magnesium Yttrium alloy

Magnesium-yttrium alloys are used as master alloys to improve the creep resistance, grain refinement, and high-temperature mechanical properties of magnesium-based components.

Magnesium-yttrium alloy targets are utilized in physical vapor deposition processes to create thin films for corrosion resistance and specialized optical coatings.

As a rare-earth containing alloy, it is used to study the effects of yttrium on the precipitation hardening and electrochemical behavior of lightweight metal matrices.
