Abstract:

Recent studies indicated that Mg-(7-11)Zn-4Al (the composition of the alloys in the present paper are given in weight percentage.) based alloys exhibited good creep resistance and additions of trace alkaline elements to the alloys further improved the mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. In order to optimize the zinc concentration and reveal the effect of small amount of alkaline element additions to Mg-Zn-Al ternary alloys on their microstructure and elevated temperature creep resistance, five alloys with compositions of Mg-7Zn-4Al, Mg-9Zn-4Al, Mg-11Zn-4Al, Mg-11Zn-4Al-0.2Ca and Mg-11Zn-4Al-0.6Ca, respectively, were prepared in the present investigation and the microstructure and creep properties of these alloys were studied.
