In this study, the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg–8Li–3Al–2Zn–0.5Y alloy during solid solution treatment from 300 °C to 450 °C were firstly investigated, and then the effect of Y content (from 0.5 wt% to 1.5 wt%) on the age softening of solid solution treated Mg–8Li–3Al–2Zn alloy was also analyzed. The results show that the as-cast Mg–8Li–3Al–2Zn–0.5Y alloy mainly consists ofα-Mg,β-Li, Al2Y and AlLi phases. With the increase of solid solution temperature from 300 °C to 450 °C for as-cast Mg–8Li–3Al–2Zn–0.5Y alloy, the AlLi phase is decomposed and the atoms of Al and Li dissolve into the matrix gradually. The hardness, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the tested alloy are increased dramatically; however, the ductility is relatively decreased. Meanwhile, the room temperature aging treated Mg–8Li–3Al–2Zn–0.5Y has age hardening during initial time, and the addition of Y is helpful to the thermal stability of Mg–8Li–3Al–2Zn alloy. In addition, the fracture behavior and strengthening mechanism of the studied alloys were also investigated systematically.
