Popis: The effects of addition of calcium up to 4 wt.% on the microstructure and creep properties of Mg-4Sn alloys were investigated by the impression creep test. Impression creep tests were performed in temperature range between 445 and 475 K under normalized stresses σ/G (where σ is the stress; G is the shear modulus) between 0.0225 and 0.035. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the microstructure of samples. It is observed that the addition of Ca more than 2 wt.% suppresses less stable MgSn2 phase, and instead forms more thermally stable phases of Ca-Mg-Sn and Mg2Ca at the grain boundaries which improve the creep resistance of Mg-4Sn alloys. According to the stress exponents (6.04
