The calcium content in binary Mg-xCa alloys affects the microstructure, corrosion and solidification behavior of the alloys. In this study, binary Mg-xCa alloys with various Ca contents from 0.5 to 10wt.% were produced by casting process. Microstructural evolutions were characterized by optical micr...
