  • the addition range of Ca having an ignition temperature of 800° C. or more or 850° C. or more while having excellent mechanical properties of the long period stacking ordered magnesium alloy is more than 0 atomic % and not more than 0.5 atomic % (preferably, 0.1 to 0.5 atomic %) by addition of Ca to the long period stacking ordered magnesium alloy.
  • An ingot of a magnesium alloy having these alloy components was melted using a high frequency melting furnace in an atmosphere of Ar, and cast members each having a shape of ⁇ 32 ⁇ 70 mm were produced by being cut from the ingot. These cast members were extruded under conditions of a temperature of 350° C., an extrusion ratio of 10 and an extrusion rate of 2.5 mm/second.
  • ⁇ represents the tensile strength ( ⁇ UTS )
  • A represents a yield strength ( ⁇ 0.2 )
  • ⁇ represents the elongation (%).
  • tensile yield strength and elongation were measured at a temperature of 523K with a tensile test, and the results thereof are shown in FIG. 7 .
  • ⁇ represents the tensile strength ( ⁇ UTS )
  • ⁇ represents a yield strength ( ⁇ 0.2 )
  • ⁇ represents the elongation (%).
  • the content of Al exceeds 0.3 atomic %, the tensile strength at high temperature (523K) is lowered. Therefore, the content of Al is set to less than 0.35 atomic % (preferably set to 0.3 atomic % or less), and thus it is possible to maintain high strength at high temperature.
  • a creep test was performed on a sample of the extrusion member.
  • a sample of the extrusion member of the alloy of Mg 96 Zn 2 Y 2 was produced, and a creep test was performed.
  • the condition of the creep test was 200° C. and 150 MPa. The results thereof are shown in FIG. 13 .
  • the alloy components of samples in a second Example are as shown in Table 1.
  • An ingot of a magnesium alloy having these alloy components was melted using a high frequency melting furnace in the atmosphere, and cast members each having a shape of ⁇ 32 ⁇ 70 mm were produced by being cut from the ingot. These cast members were extruded under conditions of a temperature of 350° C., an extrusion ratio of 10 and an extrusion rate of 2.5 mm/second.
  • the ignition temperature of the cast member was measured.
  • a measurement method is as follows.
