dc.description.abstractMagnesium-zinc alloys offer promising lightweight properties but are prone to oxidation during high-temperature processing and usage. In this study, the oxidation behavior of Mg-Zn alloy was examined according to the inert gas type flow rate, heating rate and alloy amount. Initially, alloys were produced by adding zinc at weight percentages of 0.5%, 1.5%, and 2% using the casting method. The alloys were characterized using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses, revealing the formation of dendritic Mg-Zn intermetallic within the alloy. The oxidation behavior of these alloys was examined via differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), considering factors such as heating rate, gas flow rate, type of protective atmosphere, and amount of alloying element. The results indicated that the onset temperature of oxidation decreased with increasing heating rate. The effect of gas flow rate varied depending on the heating rate and the type of gas. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, conditions with a heating rate of 20 degrees C center dot min-1 and a gas flow rate of 5 cm3 center dot min-1 resulted in the least oxidation. In an argon atmosphere, a gas flow rate of 5 cm3 center dot min-1 was found to be sufficient to prevent oxidation. However, at a gas flow rate of 1 cm3 center dot min-1, a heating rate of 20 degrees C center dot min-1 was more effective in preventing oxidation. The alloying element (zinc) likely reduced oxidation, particularly at the 1.5% addition level, possibly due to the formation of intermetallic compounds.en_US
