Abstract: The invention relates to magnesium-based alloys and, more specifically, to a magnesium alloy composition and methods of producing the same. The alloys have improved mechanical properties in that creep ratios are decreased. The magnesium-based alloys comprise aluminium, zinc, manganese and silicon. A method for producing said alloy consists of loading the alloying components, pouring the molten magnesium, introducing a titanium-containing fusion cake with a flux agent and continuously agitating. The alloy is then soaked and cast.
