It is found that the addition of Er has an obvious effect on improving mechanical properties of Mg−6Zn based alloys. The results suggest that the Mg−6Zn−0.5Er alloy in the peak aged state shows the best tensile strength. The ultimate tensile strength and the yield tensile strength of the peak-aged Mg−6Zn−0.5Er alloy are about 329 MPa and 183 MPa, respectively, companying with a good elongation of 12%. The addition of 0.5% Er into the Mg−6Zn based alloys has a great effect on improving ageing hardening response. The highest tensile strength of the peak-aged Mg−6Zn−0.5Er alloy is mainly due to the refinement of microstructure and the precipitation of β phase. 1 Key words: magnesium alloy; Mg−Zn−Er alloy; hot extrusion; dynamic recrystallization 150 MPa to 450 MPa at room temperature, depending on 1 Introduction the content of the I-phase.
