Study of Thermal Stability of Magnesium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Today, magnesium (Mg) alloys are recognized alternatives to iron and aluminum to reduce the weight of structural materials. This contribution was performed to provide information on the flammability of magnesium alloys through investigation of the ignition temperature of selected Mg alloys. The test was performed in a muffle furnace with dynamic heating program. Also were performed tests of chemical composition of studied specimens.
