Abstract
A squeeze-cast Mg-Al-Ca alloy (MRI153) was creep tested at 150, 175, and 200 °C under applied stresses in the range of 30 to 120 MPa. The creep curves were characterized by an extended tertiary stage in which the creep rate increases progressively with the creep strain. Microstructural examinations revealed the precipitation and coarsening of new particles during creep. The stress dependence of the minimum creep rate suggests a transition from power-law creep at low stresses to power-law breakdown at high stresses. Creep rupture of this alloy occurred as a result of cavitation damage at dendritic grain boundaries, with the creep rupture time and the minimum creep rate following the empirical Monkman-Grant equation. A comparison is made between the creep and rupture properties of MRI153 and those of a squeeze-cast Mg-Al alloy (AZ91).
