The results show that the dislocation climb controlled creep is the dominant creep mechanism and it is not affected by the semi solid processing and further addition of Mg. Mg improves the alloy creep properties probably by forming large Chinese script Mg2Si compounds at the interdendritic regions. The semi solid processed specimens exhibit better creep properties in comparison with the as cast ones. It is attributed to the reduction in the stacking fault energy resulting from the significant dissolution of Mg in the a（A1） phase.展开更多

The result showed that magnesium refined the size of primary α（Al） phase and eutectic silicon. Magnesium also modified considerably the eutectic silicon and decreased the size of globular α（Al） solid phase in the semi-solid processed alloy. Coarsening rate of the solid α（Al） phase during partial remelting at semi-solid temperature decreased by adding magnesium, probably due to the decrease of both the solid- liquid interfacial energy and inter-diffusion coefficient of solute atoms.展开更多
