Strengthening of Mg-Al-Ca alloys with C15 and C36 Laves phases

Mhammad Zubair, Stefanie Sandlöbes-Haut, Risheng Pei +3

The Laves phase skeleton in cast Mg-Al-Ca alloys is known to provide considerable strengthening. Laves phases such as CaMg${}_2$ (C14), Ca(Al,Mg)${}_2$ (C36), and CaAl2 (C15) have high…
