Research Progress of Mg-Al Based Alloys

Magnesium alloys as the emerging commercial metal structure material have excellent specific properties and stability, which is more and more vital for researcher. This paper reviews the creep characteristics and the way to enhance the elevated temperature properties of Mg-Al based alloys. The current Mg-Al based alloys (including AZ, AM, AS, AE, etc.) are summarized. The future development direction is pointed.
