Abstract: The effect of Ca and Sr content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a cast AZ91 magnesium alloy is investigated. Ca and Sr additions in AZ91 magnesium alloy are expected high creep resistance. The microstructure of the alloy exhibits the dendritic α-matrix and the second-phases forming networks on the grain boundary. Tensile tests at elevated temperatures between 448 and 523K reveal that the creep resistance was improved with increasing the additional amount of Ca, especially more than 1.0wt%. From the perspective of grain refinement effect, it is expected that the additions of Ca and Sr to AZ91 magnesium alloy not only improve creep resistance but also improve mechanical properties at room temperature.

Abstract: The Air-acetylene Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) was used to measure Sr content in Mg-Sr Alloys. The experiment conditions including acetylene flow rate, measurement height, flame wavelength were studied and the disturbing factors were discussed. It was found that, as dissolution agent of alloys and LaCl3 as the deionization agent and flame wavelength being 460.7nm, the detection limits is 1.16mg/L and the relative standard deviations is less than 0.3% and the recovery rates of Sr is more than 95%. The advantages of this method were summarized as: high sensitivity and precision, low chemistry disruption, good selectivity, good recurrence characteristics of the measuring conditions. The method is suitable for the control analysis and sample-system analysis of determination Sr content in the Mg-Sr Master Alloys.
