摘要：
The effects of Ca additions (0.5-2.0 wt.%) on the microstructure and the microhardness of an as-cast Mg-5.0 wt.% Al alloy have been investigated. The coarse microstructure of the base alloy can be refined through adding Ca. DSC and TEM results showed that, as Ca additions increased up to 1.5 wt.% Ca, the beta-Mg17Al12 phase was completely replaced by a (Al, Mg)(2)Ca phase. The Vickers microhardness of the as-cast Mg-Al-Ca alloys increased with increasing Ca content. Tests on the Mg-5.0Al-2.0Ca (wt.%) alloy showed an indentation size effect, which was well described by Meyer's Law. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
