Abstract
Abstract The present work cast a complex Mg-6Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloy component in a polybenzylic ether phenolic resin (PEP-SET) sand mold using by differential pressure casting. Microstructural characterization was carried out on the castings in the states of as-cast, solution treatment and aging treatment. Their mechanical properties were examined at elevated temperatures. The studied Mg alloy showed noticeably high tensile strengths up to 473 K, followed by a significant decrease with further increasing the testing temperatures. Its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures were compared with those of WE43 alloy fabricated under identical casting conditions.
