Properties of Sand-Cast Magnesium Alloys. Part V: Mg-Zn-Ag-Zr Alloys

Abstract

An investigation of magnesium-silver and magnesium-silver-zirconium casting alloys, reported earlier, revealed that age-hardenable alloys could be obtained by the addition of zinc. Preliminary work on the zinc-containing alloys disclosed a range of casting alloys of remarkably high properties. An additional investigation was, therefore, carried out to develop proper heat treating conditions to improve the response of solution heat treated material to age-hardening and to explore various foundry characteristics of the alloys finally selected.
