Abstract

Mg2Si formed by the addition of Si in Mg-Al alloys is the very useful intermetallic compound. However, Mg2Si phases in the Mg-Al-Si alloys are prone to forming undesirable, coarse Chinese script shape, which will deteriorate the mechanical properties of Mg alloys. Therefore, in order to modify the Chinese script shaped Mg2Si phases in the Mg-Al-Si alloys, many methods have been studied such as alloying addition of Ca or P. This study was aimed at improving the mechanical properties of CaO added Mg-Al-Si alloys by the addition of alloying elements and varying cooling rate to change of morphology of Mg2Si and CaMgSi phases. The microstructures of specimens were observed by OM and SEM, and the phase analysis was performed by XRD, TEM and EDS. To evaluate the mechanical properties of tested alloys, tensile tests were carried out at room and high temperatures.
