OSTI ID:5492819

The present conference discusses the development history of Mg's structural applications, a comparison of the properties of two-phase HCP+BCC and single-phase BCC Mg-Li alloys, the room temperature creep of die-cast AZ91 Mg alloy at low stress, and the relationship between the microstructural properties and corrosion behavior of Mg alloy ingots and castings. Also discussed are the characteristics of rapidly solidified Mg alloys containing rare earth additions, the role of rapid solidification processing on Mg alloys' microstructure and properties, the effects of alloying elements on the corrosion resistance of rapidly solidified Mg alloys, and alloying effects in graphite-reinforced/Mg-matrix composites.
