This study has been carried out by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The alloy in the "as-deposited" condition consists of a solid solution of zirconium atoms in the magnesium matrix. The microstructure of the alloy is characterised by elongated grains oriented in the growth direction. These grains grow with the [0001] direction parallel to the deposit growth direction. During a continuous heating, the deposit shows three exothermal transformations which have been associated with a recovery process, the zirconium precipitation in the magnesium matrix and oxidation at high temperatures. The activation energy for the precipitation reaction calculated from Kissinger analysis is 139 kjmol<sup>-1</sup>.}, number={1}, journal={Revista de Metalurgia}, author={Garcés, G. and Pérez, P. and Adeva, P.}, year={2003}, month={Feb.}, pages={17–24} }
