Abstract
Creep of three chill cast alloys based on the composition Mg-2.5RE-0.35Zn-0.3Mn-0.03Zr:(wt.%) with partial or complete substitution of Nd for Ce mischmetal has been investigated for the stress range 50–90 MPa and temperature range 150-240°C. The Nd substitution reduces the creep rate by factors as high as 8 for the conditions studied and stress to produce 0.1 % strain in 100 h matches reported results for A380 aluminium alloy at temperatures near 200 °C. The possible origins of this improvement in performance are discussed.
Funding statement: This work was carried out in association with EPSRC Research Grant GR/N00296, which included a postdoctoral assistantship for K. R. M., and formed part of Master’s dissertation work by S. S. and first degree project work by F. V. F. S.S. acknowledges support for his studentship from the Thai Government and the authors are grateful to Magnesium Elektron for suggesting this study and for supplying the alloys in chill cast form.
