Microstructure of as-cast Mg – 2.4 wt.% Ag – 2.5 Di alloy have been examined by means of light microscopy, scanning microscopy (SEM+EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results showed that the as-cast dendritic microstructure of the investigated alloy was characterized by divorced eutectic of primary α-phase and intermetallic phases Mg₁₂Di, MgAg₂Di and Mg₃(Ag, Di) – type. Intermetallic phases with polygonal and needle –like morphology were located inside α-phase.
