Enhancing the creep resistance in a RE-free cast Mg-Al-Ca alloy through microalloying of Ti by Zhuang Cui, Yang Liu, Ying Zeng, Manping Liu, Xiaochun Liu, Shiwei Xu, Xuefei Chen, Qudong Wang

“…At the same time, the microalloying of Ti improves the solubility of Al and Ca in the matrix. It is reasonable to believe that the microalloying of Ti induced re-organization of Al2Ca precipitates, dissolved a larger amount of Al and Ca atoms into magnesium lattice, and increased the possibility of interaction between GB/dislocations and precipitates, which strongly correlates with the high temperature properties. …”
