RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Strain Rate during Creep in High-Pressure Die-Cast AZ91 Magnesium Alloys at Intermediate Temperatures A1 Preciado Calzada, Mónica A1 Bravo Díez, Pedro Miguel A1 Calaf Chica, José A1 Ballorca Juez, Daniel K1 AZ91 K1 Magnesium alloys K1 Creep K1 High pressure die casting K1 Ingeniería civil K1 Civil engineering K1 Resistencia de materiales K1 Strength of materials AB During creep, magnesium alloys undergo microstructural changes due to temperature andstress. These alterations are associated with the evolution of the present phases at a microstructurallevel, creating different strain rates during primary and tertiary creep, and with the stability ofthe inter-metallic phase Mg17Al12 formed at these temperatures. In this paper, the results of creeptesting of high-pressure die-cast AZ91 magnesium alloys are reported. During creep, continuous anddiscontinuous precipitates grow, which influences creep resistance. The creep mechanism that acts atthese intermediate temperatures up to 150 ◦C is termed dislocation climbing. Finally, the influence ofthe type of precipitates on the creep behavior of alloys is determined by promoting the formation ofcontinuous precipitates by a short heat treatment prior to creep testing.
