17Al12, eutectic phase α β, needle-like Al11Nd3 and particle Al2Nd phase while the 1.36 wt.%Nd added in AZ91 alloy. The twin structure of the Al2Nd phase was observed, and the twin plane is {11-1}. Moreover, a continuous concave and convex interface structure of the Al11Nd3 has been found. In situ tensile testing of the alloy at room temperature shows that the crack initiation mainly occured in the β-Mg17Al12phase, and the crack propagation modes includes of intergranular and transgranular expansion. Crack transgranular expansion is due to the strong binding ability between of Al11Nd3 or Al2Nd phases and surrounding organization, and the continuous concave and convex interface structure of the Al11Nd3 provides a significant meshing effect on the matrix and eutectic structure."/>
