Improved tensile properties of low-temperature and low-speed extruded Mg–χAl–(4.8 − χ)Ca–0.6Mn alloys

In this work, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–Al–Ca–Mn alloys with different Ca/Al ratios (0.2, 0.6 and 1.0) have been investigated. The results showed that with the increase of the Ca/Al ratios, the grain sizes of the alloys were significantly refined, and the morphologies and ty...
