    RE elements like Ce and Nd can go into solution in Mg due to their similar size and electro negativity. This improves strength at high temperatures. Mg forms intermetallic compounds with different structures depending on the element. Solid solution strengthening occurs when alloying elements like Zn are added. Precipitation in Mg alloys is complex and involves ordered hexagonal precipitates that are coherent with the Mg matrix, like Mg3Cd. This precipitation enhances creep resistance. Alloying with Al allows for age hardening through precipitation processes.

    RE goes in solution in Mg as they have favorable size factor and similar

    electro negativity; Mg-1.20[Ce-1.21; Nd-1.19;Y-1.20] These increase strength


    at elevated temperature.

    In general, Mg-rich region shows peritectic or eutectic reaction


    Mg forms three classes of intermetallic compounds
    AB–> CsCl structure MgTl,MgAg, MgCe, SnMg where Mg can both be
    electro positive or electronegative.
    AB2 Laves phase; RA/RB=1.23 ; MgCu2  FCC Stcking : abcabc;
    MgZn2HCP, abab; MgNi2  abacab
    CaF2 structure FCC with group IV elements Mg2Si, Mg2Sn (Zintle phase);

    AZ63 means Mg-6Al-3Zn

    When solubility is decided by size factor, it decreases with temperature. This


    makes the alloys age hardenable; but here it is to a lesser extent than Al-
    alloys
    In Mg alloys, precipitation process is complex and less understood
    Sometimes, one stage becomes the formation of ordered hexagonal
    precipitate with DO19 ordering (Mg3Cd) and coherent with matrix; it is thus
    similar to GP2 (θ’’ ) in Al-Cu alloy: In Do19 ordering appt= 2aMg and
    cppt=cMg
    Precipitates forms on{1010} and {1120} along <0001> direction; alternate
    planes of {1010} and {1120} in Mg3X consists of all the Mg atoms; hence a
    low energy interface. This makes the structure stable; it will enhance creep
    resistance.

    Solid solution hardening takes place when solute like Zn is introduced


    Grain Refinement
    Super heat to 8500C /30 min; cool quickly normal cooling temperature &
    power. Inclusion Al4C3 or AlN . Al4C3
    Zr is a good refiner as it is HCP, & lattice parameter closer to Mg
    AZ91: Mg- 9 Al -1 Zn
    T5 aged- artificially aged after casting T6 solution quenched & artificial aged.
    New alloy Mg – 8Al – 1Ca (AX81);AXE522 Mg – 5AL – 2Ca – 2RE
    Mg-Zn alloy with Mg – 5.5 Zn alloy, GP Solvus is 70-800C
    Natural age then age at 1500C ;refine size & dispersion of rods of
    coherent MgZn2

    This improve creep;


    HK31, Mg-3.2 Th – 7Zr is used after T6 ageing

    Similar to Mg – RE – Zr system

    SSSS → β” → β’ → β (Mg23Th6)
    Solid solution hardening is also important in age hardened situation; even in peak
    aged condition for Mg-Al alloy 50% of Al atoms remain available for ss hardening
    Discontinuous precipitation in Mg-Al alloy
    Mg–Li system has attracted attention as a basis for very light-weight sheet and
    plate ; have extensive solid solubility in magnesium. Moreover, only about 11%
    lithium is needed to form a new -phase, which has a body-centred cubic (bcc)
    structure, thereby offering the prospect of extensive cold-formability.
    Solvus indicates may show agehardening.
    LA141 (Mg–14Li–1Al), is weldable, has been used for armour plate
    and for aerospace components
    Elastic modulus does not show much variation in different directions of
    hexagonal magnesium crystal, preferred orientation has relatively little effect
    upon the modulus.

    Twinning occurs when compressive stresses are parallel to the basal plane,
    wrought magnesium alloys tend to show lower values of longitudinal proof
    stress in compression

    Wrought thorium-containing alloys such as HM21 (Mg–2Th–0.8Mn) are used for


    manufacturing missile and spacecraft components which require creep resistance
    at temperatures up to 350 °C.
    ZK61 (Mg–6Zn–0.7Zr), is aged after extrusion, develops the highest room
    temperature yield strength of the wrought magnesium alloys. It also offers the
    advantage that tensile and compressive yield strengths are closely matched.
    The highest strength recorded for a wrought magnesium alloy is for the
    composition Mg–6Zn–1.2Mn (ZM61) in the form of heat-treated extruded bar.
    The alloy shows a high response to age-hardening, and solution treatment at 420
    °C, water quenched and duplex aged below and above the GP zones solvus (24 h
    at 90 °C and 16 h at 180 °C)results in the following tensile properties: 0.1% P.S.
    340 MPa; T.S. 385 Mpa with an elongation of 8%.
