Fig. 1. The components of intermetallic phases examined using XRD and TEM in the Mg4LaxAl (x ¼ 08, wt.%) alloys fabricated by gravity die casting. The purple dotted lines correspond to the critical Al/La ratio for the formation of certain simplex intermetallic phase, and the dotted gray area corresponds to the Al/La range where only Mg12La phase forms. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
