Applicability of Mg-Zn-(Y, Gd) Alloys for Engine Pistons
Commercial magnesium alloys have a great potential for structural applications in automotive due to their significant weight saving. However, they have poor creep resistance at temperature over 125°C, thus mak...

Indentation Creep Behavior of Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr (wt.%) Alloy at Elevated Temperatures
The indentation creep behavior of a cast Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr (GW103) alloy was investigated by flat cylindrical indenter at temperatures ranging from 250 to 325 °C and stresses ranging from 80 to 505 MPa. The ind...
