Vv. Cherkasov et al., SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE FORMATION AND PROPERTIES OF CASTABLE AL-MG ALLOYS ALLOYED WITH SCANDIUM, Metal science and heat treatment, 38(5-6), 1996, pp. 268-270
Alloys of the Al - Mg system are characterized by an elevated corrosio
n resistance and ductility and good casting properties. The strength o
f these alloys depends considerably on the concentration of the main a
lloying element, namely, magnesium. Alloying with small amounts of tra
nsition metals, for example, Ti, Zr, Cr, Sc, affects markedly the stru
cture and properties of Al - Mg alloys. The present work is devoted to
the structure and properties of Al - Mg alloys alloyed with scandium.
