Abstract

The steady-state creep rates of a large number of as-cast Mg-Y-Zr alloys containing different Zn and Nd additions were measured at temperatures ranging from 250 to 350 °C. Optimum creep resistance of these alloys was obtained when small additions of Zn and Nd were made, these small additions producing relatively large improvements in the creep resistance.
