Magnesium Gadolinium Master Alloy Foil (Mg-Gd Alloy)

Product Information

Magnesium Gadolinium (MgGd) casting alloy also called Magnesium Gadolinium master alloy, is made by melting metal magnesium and metal Gadolinium. The common alloy ratio is 20-70% magnesium, and the ratio can also be customized. 

Magnesium-Gadolinium is one of numerous high purity rare earth alloys manufactured by ATT. As a master alloy, magnesium-gadolinium can be used for grain refining, hardening, and improving alloy performance by enhancing properties such as ductility and machinability. Available alloy forms include sheets and plates, discs, foils, rods, tubes, and other shapes

Properties（Theoretical）

Magnesium Gadolinium Master Alloy Foil Application

Mg-Gd series alloys: Gd can improve the melting point and creep resistance of magnesium alloys. As early as 1974, researchers discovered that the Mg-Gd alloy that has undergone extrusion, quenching, and tempering and aging treatment has higher tensile strength at both high and low temperatures. Motorbike et al. studied the performance comparison of simple Mg-Gd binary alloys with WE43, QE22, and other alloys, and found that the creep resistance of Mg-Gd alloy is much higher than other alloys, and with the increase of Gd content, the creep resistance increase.

Packing of Magnesium Gadolinium Master Alloy Foil

Standard Packing:

Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.

ATTs’Magnesium Gadolinium Master Alloy Foil is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
