Looking for Phase Diagrams for Mag-Thor alloys

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for phase diagrams of Mag-Thor alloys and their processing methods. Participants inquire whether these alloys are typically produced through the diffusion of thorium (Th) in magnesium (Mg) followed by thermal homogenization, or if they are primarily cast. The AMS website is highlighted as a valuable resource for accessing relevant phase diagrams and information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of phase diagrams in metallurgy
  • Knowledge of magnesium and thorium alloying processes
  • Familiarity with thermal homogenization techniques
  • Access to metallurgical resources, such as the AMS website
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the phase diagrams of Mag-Thor alloys
  • Explore the diffusion process of thorium in magnesium
  • Investigate thermal homogenization methods for alloys
  • Review casting techniques applicable to Mag-Thor alloys
USEFUL FOR

Metallurgists, materials scientists, and engineers involved in alloy development and processing, particularly those focusing on magnesium-thorium systems.

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!

I found several sources include the AMS website which my University happens to have an 'open' subscription to. Here is a link for anyone interested,

If anyone has any background with these alloys please chime in!
