Abstract: A high-strength Mg-15.3Gd-1.8Ag-0.3Zr (GQ152K, mass fraction) alloy was prepared by conventional ingot metallurgy process. The solution and aging (denoted as T6) treated alloy exhibits remarkable mechanical properties with ultimate tensile strength of 421MPa and tensile yield strength of 309MPa. It has higher igniting temperature of 1 208 K. Moreover, it can stand against flame at 1 203K for over 6min in vertical burning tests, and its flammability behavior is very similar to that of 6101Al alloy. Vertical burning tests appear to be able to directly study the flammability behavior of Mg alloys and it appears to be a good approach to study the flammability behavior of Mg alloys in an aircraft fire accident.

Key words: GQ152K alloy| flammability behavior| vertical burning test| igniting temperature
