A Comprehensive Review of Studies on Impression Creep Behavior of Magnesium-Zinc Alloys

Mg-Zn alloys system due to the hardening ability ha ve crucial importance, therefore many researches have been done to increase creep resistance and maintain the alloy strength at elevated temperature. Some researches has been don ab ut the effect of alloying elements, heat treatment and improving mechanical p roperties. In these studies, the effect of alloying elements with different weight and different heat treatment cycles on microstructu re and mechanical properties have been studied. Inv estigation has been done mainly by optical microscopy, hardness, tensile and impression creep. The results of these study showe d that alloying elements can be created high thermal stable compounds with and h igh creep resistance increase. On the other hand, s olutionizing and aging treatment can cause grain refinement and precipitat ion dispersion. Because, dispersion barriers agains t motion of dislocations, they can increase creep resistance.
