Abstract
The combined addition of calcium and yttrium lead to significant increase in non-flammability and tensile properties, compared to conventional Ca-containing magnesium alloys. It means that we can reduce the amount of calcium addition to get certain amount of non-flammability in the alloys containing both calcium and yttrium together. Because the addition of calcium only can increase the ignition temperature but decrease the tensile properties, it should be minimize not to decrease the tensile properties. Corrosion behavior of calcium and yttrium containing alloys were also investigated systematically, and show that they have better corrosion resistance than the any other commercial alloys or calcium containing alloys. Detailed study on the corrosion behavior confirms that there are optimum amount of calcium and yttrium addition to get best corrosion resistance, and corrosion behavior of these alloys are quite different with other alloys.
