Homogenization-induced age-hardening behavior and room temperature mechanical properties of Mg-4Zn-0.5Ca-0.16Mn (wt%) alloy

The cast Mg-4Zn-0.5Ca-0.16Mn (wt%) alloy, prepared through conventional melting-casting route, exhibits appreciable strength (UTS~180 MPa, YS~175 MPa) with limited elongation (<1%). As the cast specimens are subjected to homogenization treatments for 6–72 h at 633 K, the yield strength decreases...
