摘要
Grain-scale creep straining processes in die-cast and permanent-mold-cast Mg-Al-Ca alloys have been studied. High-temperature strain mapping with electron backscattered diffraction analysis reveals favorably oriented grains deforming preferentially during creep. Displacements of microstructural-scale markers applied along grain boundaries and within grain interiors demonstrate no significant contribution of grain boundary sliding to creep. Creep rates at 175 degrees C display an inverse dependence on grain size, with fine-grained die-cast material possessing the highest creep resistance. Implications for the design of future alloys are discussed. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.
