These alterations are associated with the evolution of the present phases at a microstructural level, creating different strain rates during primary and tertiary creep, and with the stability of the inter-metallic phase Mg17Al12 formed at these temperatures. In this paper, the results of creep testing of high-pressure die-cast AZ91 magnesium alloys are reported. During creep, continuous and discontinuous precipitates grow, which influences creep resistance. The creep mechanism that acts at these intermediate temperatures up to 150 °C is termed dislocation climbing. Finally, the influence of the type of precipitates on the creep behavior of alloys is determined by promoting the formation of continuous precipitates by a short heat treatment prior to creep testing.
