Through investigating and comparing the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-extruded Mg alloys Mg–4%Li and Mg–4%Li–6%Zn–1.2%Y(in wt%), it demonstrates that although the formation of I-phase(Mg_3Zn_6Y, icosahedral structure) could weaken the crystallographic texture and improve the mechanical strength, the mechanical anisotropy in terms of strength remains in Mg–4%Li–6%Zn–1.2%Y alloy.Failure analysis indicates that for the Mg–4%Li alloy, the fracture surfaces of the tensile samples tested along transverse direction(TD) contain a large number of plastic dimples, whereas the fracture surface exhibits quasi-cleavage characteristic when tensile samples were tested along extrusion direction(ED).For the Mg–4%Li–6%Zn–1.2%Y alloy, typical ductile fracture surfaces can be observed in both “TD” and“ED” samples. Moreover, due to the zonal distribution of broken I-phase particles, the fracture surface of “TD” samples is characterized by the typical “woody fracture”.
