Notes:
Novel environment-friendly magnesium alloys have been developed by alkaline earthmetal oxides addition without increasing cost and damaging process-ability. They can establishsimultaneously ① cleaner processing routes with reduced or without SF6 gas, ② melt cleanliness infurnace and during transfer and pouring, ③ improved process abilities of casting, forming, weldingand powder metallurgy such as fluidity, hot tearing susceptibility, inclusion and eutectic phase, ④ costreduction with low-cost elements as well as by reducing or eliminating high-cost protective gas likeSF6 gas, ⑤ original process abilities, ⑥ improved mechanical properties by grain refinement andinternal soundness, ⑦ improved welding performance and joint properties, ⑧ safety duringapplications by improving oxidation and flame resistance and ⑨ improved remelting and recyclingabilities. CaO, one of alkaline earth metal oxides, added Mg alloys can be well manufactured byconventional melting and casting without protective gas. This paper will discuss the effect of CaO onoptimum protective gas usage, oxidation resistance and flame behavior of magnesium alloys
