The new high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) Mg-4Al-3La-1Ca-0.3Mn (ALaX431) alloy achieves higher strength than existing HPDC Mg alloys, mainly due to the formation of fine grained structure, semi-continuous reticular structure, and nanoscale precipitates. Consequently, it has great potential for wide application.
A new high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) Mg-4Al-3La-1Ca-0.3Mn (ALaX431) alloy with high strength has successfully been fabricated. This HPDC alloy in peak-aged state exhibits tensile yield strength (TYS) of 220 MPa at room temperature and TYS of 145 MPa at 250 degrees C, higher than the corresponding strength of HPDC Mg alloys reported so far. These high strengths are mainly due to the formation of fine grained structure, semi-continuous reticular structure consisting of stable Al3La and (Mg,Al)(2)Ca particles along grain boundaries and numerous nanoscale Al2Ca precipitates within grains. Due to its higher strength than existing HPDC Mg alloys, the new developed alloy has great application potential.
