The effect of 2 wt% Ce-rich rare earth (RE) addition on the microstructure and creep behavior of the Mg-4Zn-0.5Ca (wt%) alloy was investigated by impression creep tests in the temperature range of 423-498 K and under stresses in the range of 250-800 MPa for dwell times up to 3600 s. Addition of RE was shown to significantly improve the creep resistance of the base alloy. Formation of the thermally stable (MgZn)(12)RE and Mg17RE2 particles was responsible for such an improvement. The creep behavior can be divided into two stress regimes, with a change from the low-stress regime to the high-stress regime occurring, depending on the test temperature, around 0.024 < (sigma/G) < 0.038 and 0.031 < (sigma/G)
