Abstract

The strength of the lightweight Mg(Al) alloys with Al concentration less than 10 wt% is due to controlled precipitation of the intermetallic phase Mg17Al12. This phase and its solid solution host have been characterised by 25Mg and 27Al NMR in terms of Knight shifts and nuclear quadrupole interactions for the distinguishable Mg and Al sites.
