High temperature mechanical behaviour of Mg–6Zn–1Y alloy with 1 wt.% calcium addition: Reinforcing effect due to I-(Mg3Zn6Y1) and Mg6Zn3Ca2 phases

The influence of small calcium additions on the high-temperature mechanical behaviour in an extruded Mg–6Zn–1Y (wt.%) alloy reinforced by the I-phase has been investigated. Calcium promotes the formation of the intermetallic Mg6Zn3Ca2 phase instead of I-phase, which results in a noticeable improveme...
