EFFECTS AND MECHANISMS OF RARE EARTH AND CALCIUM ON THE FLAME RETARDANCY OF MAGNESIUM ALLOYS

This paper focuses on the effects and mechanisms of rare earth and calcium on the flame retardancy of magnesium alloys.Rare earth elements form dense composite oxide films on the surface of the melt, effectively inhibiting the progress of oxidation reactions and significantly increasing the ignition temperature of magnesium alloys.The mechanisms an
