Summary
Information about possible precipitation of Al-Ca intermetallic phases is important for Mg-alloys with these alloying elements. During the experimental investigation of the ternary Mg-Al-Ca phase diagram we observed some inconsistencies, indicating the existence of additional binary Al-Ca compounds. To solve them, we carried out an investigation of the binary Al-Ca phase diagram.
The Al-rich corner is well investigated and described in the literature. Two binary phases Al4Ca and Al2Ca were reported. Only very limited experimental investigations of Ca-rich part were reported.
