The analyzed magnesium alloys contain about 5 wt% aluminum and 1-5 wt% rare earth elements introduced in the form of mischmetal. The casts were fabricated using a regular type cold-chamber high-pressure die-casting machine with a 3.2 MN locking force. The same surfaces of the casts were analyzed before and after the three-point bending test in order to determine the influence of the gas and shrinkage porosity on the deformation behavior of the alloys. The obtained results revealed that the most dangerous for the cast elements is the shrinkage porosity, especially stretched in the direction perpendicular to the that of the tensile stress action. Additionally, the influence of deformation twins arise in the dendrites of the primary α (Mg) solid solution and its interaction on the cracking process was described.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of Defects on Deformation Behavior of High-Pressure Die-Casting Magnesium Alloys}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/127006/PDF/AFE%202_2023_02.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2023.144289}, keywords={AME-series magnesium alloy, High-pressure die-casting, Gas and shrinkage porosity, Microstructure, Deformation twins}, }
