Abstract
Magnesium alloys of Mg-Y-RE-Zr series are characterized by creep resistance up to a temperature of 250 ° C, and can work up to a temperature of 300oC. These properties allow for the application of alloys of Mg-Y-RE-Zr series for the elements of racing car engines operating in the conditions of high loads and temperatures. The requirement of high reliability components of aircraft propulsion system, with high strength and corrosion resistance, also led to the use of these alloys in the aerospace industry. Welding technologies in cast magnesium alloys are applied in order to repair defects in castings, occurring in the casting process, as well as to regenerate worn out castings. Joints made of magnesium alloys should have at least the same properties as a finished casting. The literature lacks information on the properties of joints welded of cast magnesium alloys.This work includes examination of influence of heat treatment on creep resistance of alloy WE43. Material for the study comprised joints made by the TIG method, welded in the cast state. Creep tests were carried out on joints without heat treatment and joints after heat treatment. The tests were performed at the temperatures of 200 ° C and 250 ° C during 100h. It was found that there is an increase in creep resistance of the joints after heat treatment.
