Notes:
The effect of Al content on the microstructural characteristics, tensile and creep propertiesof Mg-xAl-Zn alloy was investigated. The molten Mg-(3~11)Al-Zn alloys of 700°C were poured intothe permanent mould designed to prepare the specimens used in this study. Tensile and creep testswere carried out for each Mg-Al based alloys. Results show that creep resistance decreased whiletensile strength improved with increasing Al contents. Microstructural study revealed thatmorphology and distribution of non equilibrium Mg17Al12 phase is main factor determining the tensileand creep properties of as cast Mg-xAl-Zn alloys. The final purpose of this study is to construct thedatabase of already used Mg-Al based alloy and to develop the heat resistant magnesium alloys toapply transportation systems such as automobile
