Rare earth (RE) elements can improve the properties of aluminumAluminumand magnesiumMagnesium alloys when added as an alloyingAlloying agent. A simple way to produce Al–RE or Mg–RE alloys is by adding RE metals to Al alloy or Mg alloy.

An alternative way to make RE–Al/Mg alloys is by directly reducing RE compounds with Al or Mg. In this study, a systematic thermodynamic evaluation of the ability of aluminumAluminumand magnesiumMagnesium to reduce different rare earth compounds was carried out. RE oxideOxide, fluoride, and chloride systems were analyzed, with emphasis on RE chloride.
