High reactivity and ease of ignition are the major obstacles for the application of Mg alloys in
aerospace. Thus, the ignition mechanisms of Mg alloys should be investigated …

Good ignition-proof principle and mechanical properties were realized in Mg-Y-Ca-Zr alloy
system. By adding Y and Ca elements, the ignition point of Mg-3.5 Y-0.8 Ca alloy was …

Ignition-proof magnesium alloy is obtained in Mg–Y–Ce system, which can be melted at
1173K in air without any protections. A dense and compact oxide film is obtained on the …

Magnesium alloys exhibit poor ignition resistance after the addition of elements whose
solubility limit in the matrix is extremely low, although these elements can …

Abstract A Mg-Y-Ca-Ce magnesium alloy was optimized for high ignition-proof property,
which did not burn in air at 1233 K up to 30 min. Oxidation behavior of the alloy was …

The high temperature oxidation behavior of magnesium (Mg) alloys containing neodymium
(Nd) was investigated at low level concentrations (0.3 and 0.5 wt.%). Continuous heating …

Magnesium alloys have become more attractive because of their low density and
electromagnetic shielding effectiveness in the aerospace industry. However, some …

The ban by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of application of magnesium in aircraft
cabins was lifted under the condition that the used materials have to fulfill the requirements …

The ignition resistance of pure Mg, AZ91 and WE43 alloys is investigated. For pure Mg,
ignition occurs in the solid state whereas it requires the presence of liquid in the AZ91 alloy …

Applications of magnesium alloys are expanding in many industries due to their lightweight
property (1, 2). However, magnesium is prone to severe oxidation or even burning at high …
