Popis: With the help of optical microstructure(OM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), the microstructure and storage heat performance of Mg-based phase change thermal storage alloys were investigated.The results show that the microstructure of Mg-25Al-15Zn-xCu (x=0, 2%, 8% and 14%, respectivly) alloys are mainly composed of primary crystal α (Mg) solid solution matrix, β-Mg17Al12, CuZn, MgAl2Cu and Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phases. The phase transition temperature of Mg-25Al-15Zn and Mg-25Al-15Zn-8Cu alloys ​​are 412.1 °C and 405.9 °C respectively; and phase change latent heat values of that were 175.4 J/g and 209.3 J/g. The addition of Cu led to the formation of new phase, reducing the phase transition temperature and increasing the value of phase change latent heat.
