Research into magnesium die-cast alloys from the Mg-Al-(Zn), Mg-Zn-(Al), Mg-rare earth (RE) and Mg-Al-RE systems is discussed. Particular attention is paid to factors influencing mechanical properties and castability. The nature and level of alloy addition is in all cases an important determinant of castability (cracking and fluidity) and mechanical properties (strength, ductility and creep resistance). The interplay of these factors shows considerable variation between different alloy systems.

Microstructure and tensile creep behaviour of the die-cast AE44 and AJ62 magnesium alloys has been studied at temperatures between 175°C and 200°C and at stresses in the range from 60 to 75 MPa. At the 175°C the AJ62 and AE44 alloys exhibit good creep resistance after 120h creep deformation. At 200°C the AE44 alloy shows still good creep resistance, whereas in the case of AJ62 alloy the rapid decreasing of creep resistance has been observed. TEM observations reveal dislocations cell structure in AE44 alloy after creep test. In AJ62 alloy subgrain formation and decreasing the dislocation density have been observed.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are becoming one of the key engineering materials for aerospace and automotive industries because of their low density, high specific strength, excellent machinability and good diecastability, etc. In the meantime, conventional Mg alloys are limited for their low strength and creep resistance. Therefore, special attention is given on its applications at high temperature such as the transmission case and the engine block, In the near decades, much effort have been devoted to improving the properties such as strength, ductility, creep resistance of Mg alloys by adding rare earth (RE) elements, and it has been certified that the addition of RE do improve the performances of the Mg alloys. In this paper, we will review the progresses in the investigations of the Mg-RE alloys as a structural material, and also propose its application prospect in future.
