Substitution of Rare Earths in Magnesium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium alloys containing rare earth elements have better properties in terms of of formability, strength and corrosion resistance. Due to the tight supply situation these elements should be partially or complete substituted, for example by calcium. Microstructural studies of casted alloys of new compositions, and the influence of various heat treatments on their microstructure are investigated. The mechanical properties of the rolled materials are also presented and discussed. The works presented in this paper are results of the ongoing BMBF project SubSEEMag.
