This　study　addresses　the　enhancement　of　thermal　stability　of　zinc　alloys,　which　commonly　experience　reduced　mechanical　performance　beyond　100　℃.　The　304　stainless　steel　wires　(SSWs)　were　utilized　to　fabricate　a　3D　porous　metal　rubber　(MR)　skeleton,　facilitating　the　infusion　of　molten　zinc　alloys　(ZA8)　via　squeeze　casting　to　prepare　MR/ZA8　composites.　The　impact　of　varying　SSW　volume　fractions　on　the　static　compression　creep　(SCC)　behavior　of　the　MR/ZA8　composites　at　250　℃　was　investigated,　while　exploring　their　SCC　failure　mechanisms.　Energy　dispersive　spectrometer　was　used　to　analyze　the　MR/ZA8　composites　both　before　and　after　the　creep　experiments.　Findings　revealed　that　in　comparison　to　ZA8,　MR/ZA8　composites　exhibited　notably　lower　SCC　strain,　diminishing　with　the　increased　SSW　volume　fraction.　Under　the　applied　stresses　of　12　MPa,　17　MPa　and　20.4　MPa,　the　steady-state　SCC　rate　of　MR/ZA8　composites　experienced　a　reduction　of　1　order　of　magnitude　compared　to　ZA8.　The　apparent　stress　exponent　n　value　ranged　from　3.37　to　4.84,　indicating　a　SCC　mechanism　dominated　by　dislocation　climb　within　the　two　materials.　The　elemental　composition　of　the　MR/ZA8　composites　remained　largely　unchanged,　and　the　MR　skeleton　in　the　MR/ZA8　did　not　undergo　oxidation.　©　2025　Elsevier　Ltd
