Abstract The basic mechanisms of rare earth elements additions in magnesium alloys were reviewed, including the solid solution strengthening, grain refinement and long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase. A brief overview of the available rare earth elements was given, along with a summary of the type, the special mechanism, chemical or physical effects and other unique properties achieved by previous researches on the rare earth element additions on magnesium alloys. Finally, certain challenging problems that the research faced and future expectations of Mg-RE alloys were stated and discussed.
