Mechanical Property Evaluation of Permanent-Mould Cast AM-SC1™ Mg-Alloy

Microstructure and mechanical behaviour of an elevated temperature Mg-rare earth based alloy

“…The sample geometries and the test methods have been described elsewhere [14]. The constant load creep tests in tension were carried out in silicone oil baths, with temperature control better than ±1 K. Three test temperatures were used (423 K, 450 K and 473 K) with several loads applied at each temperature, up to a maximum of 100 MPa.…”

“…The properties of this alloy for T6 heat treated sand-castings have been described in [13] and for T6 heat treated permanent mould castings in [14]. The alloy is based on the Mg-RE system, and contains additions of Zr for grain refinement purposes.…”
