In this study, we identify the crystal structures and elucidate the formation mechanism of Al-Mn(-Fe) intermetallic particles formed in Mg-Al-based alloys with varied Al contents, FeCl3 addition or melt superheating. The formed Al-Mn(-Fe) particles were collected through a newly developed particle extraction method for structural, chemical and morphological characterizations. It is found that increasing the Al content from 3 wt% to 9 wt% changes the major Al-Mn phase from tau-Al0.89Mn1.11 in AZ31 to gamma(2)-Al8Mn5 in AZ91, and both FeCl3 addition and melt superheating promote the formation of gamma(2)-Al-8(Mn,Fe)(5) in AZ31 and AZ63. In addition, through tuning FeCl3 addition level or melt superheating temperature, different morphologies of the gamma(2)-Al-8(Mn,Fe)(5) particles are formed in AZ31 and AZ63, including quasi-cubes, octa-pod microstructures and polyhedral particles. This study provides several important approaches to control the crystal structure and morphology of Al-Mn(-Fe) intermetallic particles formed in Mg-Al-based alloys. (C) 2016 Acta Materialia Inc.
