Creep resistant magnesium alloys are candidate materials for automotive powertrain applications. Since the 90's, a number of new creep‐resistant magnesium alloy systems have been investigated and developed. These are for the most part based on rare‐earth, alkaline earth, and silicon additions. This paper gives an overview of creep resistance in magnesium and a review of creep resistant magnesium alloys for power‐train applications.
