Abstract

Magnesium alloys have the characteristic with high specific strength and lightweight property, it is widely used for auto mobile industry. Heat-resistant magnesium alloy is focused as a suitable material for weight reduction of the engine and power train parts in automotive field. In this study, microstructure and heat-resistant property in Mg-3mass%Al-1mass%Si(Mg-3%Al-1%Si) alloy with containing large amount of Sn(tin) were investigated. The alloys produced by permanent mold casting were investigated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and measuring of bolt load retention at 423K. The heat-resistant property of Mg-3mass% Al-1mass% Si alloy with containing 6-13masss%Sn was higher compared with Sn free alloy and conventional Magnesium alloys (e.g. AZ91 and AM60 alloys).
