S>Zirconium additions to Mg-rare earth metal alloys exhibited little effect on the properties of extrusions. Higher strength properties and creep resistance were found in extruded alloys containing neodymium and praseodymium than in those alloys containing Mischmetal. Additions of 2 to 4 wt.% Zn to Mg- rare earth metal-Zr alloys did not appear promising for wrought products. (auth)
