Abstract: The present work aimed to investigate the dynamic impact behavior of an extruded and T5-tempered Mg-8Gd-4Y-Nd-Zr alloy subjected to various strain rates by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar, hardness test, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Our experiment confirmed the excellent impact resistance of this extruded-T5 tempered alloy, as it exhibited the compressive strengths of 502 MPa and 682 MPa, the former of which is equivalent to 2519A aluminum alloy, when the strain rates were 771 s-1 and 2 645 s-1, respectively. It can also be concluded that the cleavage fracture is the main fracture mode of the alloy under different strain rates. A strain rate below 1 244 s-1 will result in the connection of the cleavage planes through small-sized shallow dimples, while a strain rate higher than 1 808 s-1 can lead to the intergranular fracture in fine grain region involved by grain boundary weakening, a consequence of the adiabatic temperature rise during dynamic compression, and thereby, trigger the formation of network structure.
