Mg-Sn alloys contain thermally stable Mg2Sn phase, and are proposed as heat-resistant alloys for automobile engine applications. In this study, the creep behaviour of Mg-5Sn alloy was investigated using impression creep technique. The impression creep tests were carried out under constant punching stress in the range of 80-320 MPa at temperatures 373-573 K, for dwell times up to 5 hours. The results highlight that creep of Mg-5Sn alloy was load and temperature dependent, i.e. increasing the load and temperature resulted in larger creep deformation and hence to higher creep rates. From the creep curves, the stress exponent and the activation energy were estimated and the creep mechanism was identified.

Abstract


Mg-Sn alloys contain thermally stable Mg2Sn phase, and are proposed as heat-resistant alloys for automobile engine applications. In this study, the creep behaviour of Mg-5Sn alloy was investigated using impression creep technique. The impression creep tests were carried out under constant punching stress in the range of 80-320 MPa at temperatures 373-573 K, for dwell times up to 5 hours. The results highlight that creep of Mg-5Sn alloy was load and temperature dependent, i.e. increasing the load and temperature resulted in larger creep deformation and hence to higher creep rates. From the creep curves, the stress exponent and the activation energy were estimated and the creep mechanism was identified.
