Abstract:

In this paper microstructure and creep properties of Mg-Al-Ca-Sr, Mg-Zn-RE-Zr and Mg-Sn-Si gravity casting magnesium alloys are presented. The microstructure was characterized using light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Phase identification was made by SAED and XRD analysis. Creep tests were carried out in the temperature range from 180°C to 200°C at applied stress of 60 MPa. Microstructure of Mg-Al-Ca-Sr alloys composed of α-Mg grains and C36, C15 and C14 intermetallic compounds in the interdendritic regions. In case of Mg-Zn-RE-Zr alloys the dominant intermetallic compound is (Mg,Zn)₁₂RE phase also located in the interdendritic regions. Microstructure of Mg-Sn-Si alloys after T6 heat treatment consists of plate-like precipitates of Mg₂Sn phase, primary crystals of Mg₂Si phase and globular Mg₂Si phase. Among the alloys in this study, the low-cost Mg-5Al-3Ca-0.7Sr alloy has the best creep resistance. The other alloys, excluding the Mg-5Si-7Sn alloy, are characterized by a poorer creep resistance in compared to Mg-5Al-3Ca-0.7Sr alloy, however their creep resistance is better if compared to typical Mg-Al alloys. Creep resistance of Mg-5Si-7Sn alloy is very low.
