Effect of Ca Contents on Tensile Properties of Squeeze Cast Mg-Al-Ca Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the effect of calcium contents on tensile properties of squeeze cast Mg-Al-Ca alloys at room temperature was investigated. The results show that as the calcium content of AMC50X increases from 0 to 4 wt.%, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation-to-failure (Ef) decrease dramatically at room temperature. But, the yield strengths (YS) of the alloys improve slightly.
