Patent ·
OSTI ID:4089288
A magnesium alloy having high resistance to creep at temperatures up to 400 deg C and good room temperature properties, e.g., weldability, working, etc. is offered. It has the following composition: rare earth metals (preferably misch metal or cerium) 0.5 to 1.5%, zinc 0.25 to 1.25%, zirconium 0.2 to 1.0%, and the balance magnesium. Beryllium up to 30 ppm and manganese up to 0.3% may be incorporated for improved oxidation and creep resistance at high temperatures. (D.L.C.)
