Since a few years Mg alloys see a renaissance as light‐weight materials for automobiles. In cars the Mg‐alloys have to withstand elevated temperatures. Under these conditions the time dependence of the deformation of Mg‐alloys must no longer be neglected. Therefore a basic research program was started in cooperation with AUDI AG, Ingolstadt, to understand and quantify the time dependent deformation behavior of the new high purity Mg‐Al‐base alloy AZ91. The results show that die‐cast AZ91 has a good resistance to primary creep at temperatures up to 150 °C.
