Creep rupture tests were performed for a die-cast Mg-Al-Ca alloy AX52 (X representing calcium) at 29 kinds of creep conditions in the temperature range between 423 and 498 K. The creep curve for the alloy is characterized by a minimum in the creep rate followed by an accelerating stage. The minimum creep rate (ε& m) and the creep rupture life (trup) follow the phenomenological Monkman-Grant relationship; trup = C0 /ε& m m. It is found for the AX52 die-cast alloy that the exponent m is unity and the constant C0 is 2.0 x 10-2, independent of creep testing temperature. The values of m and C0 are compared with those for another die-cast magnesium alloys. The value m=1 is generally detected for die-cast magnesium alloys. On the contrary, the value of C0 sensitively depends on alloy composition, which is reduced with increasing the concentration of alloying elements such as Al, Zn and Ca.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of cold upsetting magnesium alloys were investigated upon anneal under different conditions. The results show that a large amount of twins were observed in the original grains of cold upsetting AZ31 magnesium alloys. The twins disappeared gradually and recrystal grains formed after anneal. The volume fraction of the recrystal grains increases as the strain of samples rises. Recrystal grain size grows large with the elevated annealing temperature. Recrystal grain size reduces at first and then grows as the annealing time is prolonged. In addition, compared with as-cast magnesium alloys, the yield strength of cold upsetting samples increase apparently due to grain refinement after anneals.
