The high temperature response in torsion and creep of two extruded Mg-Zn alloys was investigated in the present study. The alloy 0 (Mg-2Zn-1Mn) was found to exhibit a lower strength than the alloy 2 (Mg-0.55Zn-0.79Mn-0.75Al-0.17Ca), even if the activation energy for creep was similar for both materials (170-180 kJ/mol). The difference in flow stress was here preliminarily attributed to the precipitation of fine Al2Ca particles.
