“…In the widely used aluminum-containing Mg alloys like AZ or AM series, the intermetallic phase (Mg 17 Al 12 ) has low melting point which cannot hinder the creep deformation at high temperatures. [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11] So the prime importance is to develop high creep resistant Mg alloys by different elemental additions (like Si, Sr, Ca, Mn, rare earth elements, or a combination of these). [2,6,7,12,13] At elevated temperature and stress, the supersaturated Mg matrix in creep resistant Mg alloys lead to the formation of precipitates (high melting point and thermally stable intermetallics like Al-Mn, Mg 2 Si, Mg 2 Sn, Mn 2 Sc, Al 2 Ca, Al 11 RE 3 , (Mg,Al) 2 Ca, Al 2 Ca, Mg-Al-Sr, Al-CeMg-Ca, Mg 12 Ce, Mg 14 Nd 2 Y, etc.)…”
