%X of the Al4Sr and the Mg17Sr2 phases. However, after simultaneous alloying with strontium, silicon and calcium the ternary Zintl phase Sr6.33Mg16.67Si13 was detected. This phase forms preferably instead of Al4Sr,Mg17Sr2 andMg2Si. Compared to the two strontium-containing phases, precipitates of the ternary Zintl phase exhibit a rather compact morphology. This results in a higher elongation-at-fracture under tensile stress.
