Looking for Phase Diagrams for Mag-Thor alloys

AI Thread Summary
Phase diagrams for magnesium-thorium (Mg-Th) alloys are sought for understanding their properties and processing methods. These alloys are typically processed through various methods, including diffusion of thorium into magnesium, followed by thermal homogenization, as well as casting techniques. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the specific processing methods used for Mg-Th alloys, as they can significantly influence the material's characteristics. Participants are encouraged to share additional insights or experiences related to these alloys, with references to resources like the AMS website for further information.

I am looking for phase diagrams for Mag-Thor alloys and would also like to get some information on how they are typically processed. Are these alloys typically made by diffusion of Th in the Mg and then thermally homogenized? Or are they usually cast? Perhaps made by some other process all together?

If you have any other interesting information about these alloys please feel free to chime in!
