Abstract

The structure of Mg-9Al-2Ca-xSr alloys is composed of α-Mg grains and the Al₂Ca and Al₄Sr phases in the interdendritic areas. These phases are formed as a result of eutectic reactions. Globular particles of the Al₈Mn₅ phase are observed within the interior of the grains. The addition of strontium to Mg-9Al-2Ca-0.4Mn alloys causes the formation of the Al₄Sr phase and increase of its volume fraction with increasing strontium levels. Moreover, increase of the strontium amount causes a decrease of aluminum content in the α-Mg solid solution.
