In this study, effects of CaD and Ca addtions on microstructure and ignition resistance of pure Mg were investigated. With increasing Ca and CaO contents, the grains in Ca and CaO added Mg were refined and ignition temperatures of CaO and Ca added Mg increased, too. As a result of phase analysis, CaO seemed to be reduced to Ca. $Mg_2Ca$ phase was formed even in 0.1 wt%CaO added pure Mg by reduction mechanism, while $Mg_2Ca$ phase was formed in over 1.35 wt% Ca added pure Mg. Thermodynamical consideration for the reduction mechanism of CaO in pure Mg was carried out.
