Solution and ageing heat treatments of ZK60 magnesium alloys with rare earth additions produced by semi-solid casting

Solution and ageing heat treatments of ZK60 magnesium alloys with rare earth additions produced by semi-solid casting

Rare earth elements reportedly improve high temperature strength and creep resistance of Mg alloys. In the present work, ZK60 Mg alloys containing different amounts (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 wt.%) of rare earth additions were prepared by thixocasting and submitted to solution and ageing heat treatments (T4,...
