摘要
The effect of calcium addition on the microstructure and creep strength of the die-cast AM50 magnesium alloy was investigated. The alpha-Mg grains with the diameter of 4.9 mum are surrounded by the eutectic phases for the AM50-1.72 mass pct Ca alloy, while the beta(Mg17Al12) particles are located mainly on the grain boundaries of the alpha grains for the AM50 alloy. The minimum creep rates of the AM50-1.72 mass pct Ca alloy are three orders of magnitude lower than those of the AM50 alloy at 423 K typically below 120 MPa. The thousandfold creep strengthening by the Ca addition is ascribed to the thermally stable eutectic phases appearing in the AM50-1.72 mass pct Ca alloy, which is expected to yield effective grain boundary strengthening or to resist the plastic flow of the alpha-Mg grains.
