Abstract: Provided is a magnesium alloy for room temperature, which is manufactured by adding CaO onto a surface of a molten magnesium alloy and exhausting the CaO through a reduction reaction of the CaO with the molten magnesium alloy. Resultantly, the magnesium alloy with CaO added has more improved room-temperature mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation) than magnesium alloys without using CaO. Furthermore, as the added amount of CaO increases, room-temperature mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation) increase as well.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method of a magnesium-based alloy for high temperature. The manufacturing method includes melting a magnesium (Mg) or magnesium alloy into a liquid phase, adding calcium oxide (CaO) 1.4 times the weight of a final calcium (Ca) target composition onto a surface of a melt in which the magnesium or the magnesium alloy is melted, forming a targeted amount of Ca in the magnesium or magnesium alloy through a reduction reaction between the melt and the added CaO. Specifically, the amount of Ca formed is in the range of 0.8 wt % to 2.4 wt %, and a final composition of the Mg alloy includes 6.0-8.0 wt % of aluminum (Al), 0.1-0.3 wt % of manganese (Mn), 0.2-0.3 wt % of strontium (Sr), less than 0.04 wt of zinc (Zn), less than 0.9 wt of tin (Sn), and a balance being Mg.

Abstract: Provided are a magnesium-based alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. In the method, a magnesium alloy is melted into liquid phase, and an alkaline earth metal oxide is added into a molten magnesium alloy. The alkaline earth metal oxide is exhausted through surface reduction reaction between the melt and the alkaline earth metal oxide. Alkaline earth metal produced by the exhaustion reacts with Mg and/or other alloying elements in the magnesium alloy so that an intermetallic compound is formed. The magnesium prepared by the method is excellent in fluidity and hot-tearing resistance. To this end, the alkaline earth metal oxide added is CaO, and the added amount of CaO is 1.4 to 1.7 times the target weight of Ca to be contained in the final Mg alloy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Mg—Al—Ca based master alloy for Mg alloys and to a production method therefor, and concerns an alloying master alloy used for magnesium or magnesium alloys. To this end, a feature of the invention is that, while the Ca:Al ration in the composition is maintained at between 7:3 and 1:9, based on percentages by weight in the alloy, a balance of Mg is added in an amount of up to 85% of the entire weight of the master alloy, based on percentage by weight. The production method comprises the steps of: preparing components of a master alloy by selecting a composition in which, while the Ca:Al ration in the composition is maintained at between 7:3 and 1:9, based on percentages by weight in the alloy, there is a balance of Mg in an amount of up to 85% of the entire weight of the master alloy, based on percentage by weight; sequentially melting Mg, Al and Ca; completely melting the components by applying an adequate amount of heat; and rapidly cooling the molten pool.
