Abstract

Magnesium-rare earth based alloys generally show good creep resistance at elevated temperatures and are consequently very promising candidates for powertrain applications. However, for magnesium-rare earth alloys to be used in high pressure die-cast components, they also need to have sufficient die-castability. This paper analyses the data from a series of investigations into binary and ternary magnesium-rare earth (RE) based alloys with the REs including La, Ce, Nd, Y and Gd, with an aim to identify alloy compositions that are castable. It is found that Mg-La based alloys are least susceptible to hot tearing whilst alloys containing Nd, Y or Gd tend to have very high hot tearing susceptibility. The hot tearing susceptibility of Mg-RE-Zn and Mg-Al-RE alloys is also addressed.

City	Nashville
Period	14/02/16 → 18/02/16
Other	The Magnesium Technology Symposium, the event on which this collection is based, is one of the largest yearly gatherings of magnesium specialists in the world. Papers represent all aspects of the field, ranging from primary production to applications to recycling. Moreover, papers explore everything from basic research findings to industrialization. Magnesium Technology 2016 covers a broad spectrum of current topics, including alloys and their properties; cast products and processing; wrought products and processing; forming, joining, and machining; corrosion and surface finishing; ecology; and structural applications. In addition, there is coverage of new and emerging applications.
