In the present article, the phase identification of four magnesium alloys: Mg-9wt%Al, Mg-8wt%Al-2wt%Ca-0.5wt%Sr, Mg-5wt%Y-4wt%RE and Mg-3wt%Nd-1wt%Gd were studied. The results showed that Mg-9wt%Al alloy contains only the Mg17Al12 intermetallic phase in α-Mg matrix. As-cast microstructure of Mg-8wt%Al-2wt%Ca-0.5wt%Sr alloy consist of α-Mg matrix with (Al,Mg)2Ca and (Al,Mg)4Sr phases. The Mg-5wt%Y-4wt%RE alloy showed several phases. This alloy was characterized by a solid solution structure α-Mg with eutectic α-Mg + Mg14Y2Nd on grain boundaries. The precipitates of MgY, Mg2Y, Mg24Y5 phases have been also observed. The Mg-3wt%Nd-1wt%Gd alloy composed mainly of a solid solution structure α-Mg with eutectic α-Mg + Mg3(Nd,Gd) on the grain boundaries. The regular precipitates of MgGd3 phase have been also observed.

The latest research results on new types of magnesium alloys containing strontium or rare earth elements are reviewed. Special attentions are paid to the alloying design, microstructure and properties controlling, the influence of minor addition of Sr and RE on the microstructure and properties of existing magnesium alloys. Some new types of magnesium alloys containing Sr or RE are introduced and discussed.

Magnesium alloys as the emerging commercial metal structure material have excellent specific properties and stability, which is more and more vital for researcher. This paper reviews the creep characteristics and the way to enhance the elevated temperature properties of Mg-Al based alloys. The current Mg-Al based alloys (including AZ, AM, AS, AE, etc.) are summarized. The future development direction is pointed.
