Solid-Phase Processing of Mg–Al–Mn–Ca for High Strength and Ductility

While rare-earth Mg alloysMagnesium alloy have remarkable properties for high strength applications, lower cost alternatives are necessary for the widespread industry use of Mg. Ca added Mg alloysMagnesium alloy have shown promise as an alternative to rare-earth alloys. Ca-based precipitates can reduce basal texture, reduce casting porosity, and increase mechanical strength of cast components. However, the accumulation of Ca-based precipitates …
