The phase equilibria and compositions in Mg-rich comer at 300℃ were determined in the Mg-Zn-A1 ternary system through the equilibrated alloy method by using X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） assisted with energy dispersive spectroscopy of X-ray （EDS）. The results show that there exist three three-phase regions consisted of a-Mg＋Mg17A112（7）＋A15Mg11Zn4（φ）, a-Mg＋Mga2（Al, Zn）49（r）＋A15MgllZn4（φ） and a-Mg＋MgZn＋Mg32（A1, Zn）49（r）, respectively. The intermetallic compounds in equilibrium with a-Mg phase all have large composition ranges, not appear to be linear. At the same time, both zinc and aluminum are soluble in the a-Mg solid solution, with which the compounds are in equilibrium.
