This PowerPoint presentation begins with a description of automotive uses and moves into the rationale for designing alloys for creep resistance. The focus is on the creep behavior and creep mechanisms in Mg-Al, Mg-Al-Zn, and Mg-Al-RE alloys, although other properties – tensile, corrosion and castability – are considered. A special section devoted to the Mg-Al-Sr system is included at the end.
