rare earth elements were studied under shear modulus-normalized stresses ranging from
0.0225 to 0.035 at temperatures of 150–212° C using the impression creep technique.
Analysis of the creep mechanism based on a power-law equation indicated that pipe
diffusion-controlled dislocation climb is the dominant mechanism during creep. The alloy
has a better creep resistance than high-pressure die-cast magnesium–aluminum alloy.
