Effect of Ag and Cu trace additions on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of Mg–5Sn alloy

Effect of alumina and silicon carbide hybrid reinforcements on tensile, compressive and microhardness behavior of Mg–3Al–1Zn alloy

“…The difference in texture can also be estimated by intensities of XRD peaks at 2 theta equal to 32°, 34°, and 36°(X, Y, Z respectively). The peaks X, Y, and Z correspond to prismatic f1010g, basal {0002} and pyramidal f1011g planes of HCP magnesium crystal respectively [25]. It can be observed that intensity of prismatic f1010g plane is high and that of basal {0002} plane is low in Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy as shown in Fig.…”

Effect of Li on microstructure, mechanical properties and fracture mechanism of as-cast Mg–5Sn alloy

“…(¯)pyramidal planes [18]. The intensity of the pyramidal plane is the maximum of all the alloys, indicating that any of the pyramidal planes could be aligned in a direction parallel to the tensile or compressive direction.…”

“…Since the volume fraction of the precipitates is subjected to the solubility of Sn in α-Mg, Huang [14] suggests that one of the most effective ways to improve age-hardened property is to refine the precipitate through micro-alloying. For further enhancement of mechanical properties, some micro-alloying elements [6,11,[15][16][17][18] such as Ca, Di, Sr, Mn, La, Ag, Cu, and the like, have been added to this system. Addition of Zn [19,20] to Mg-5Sn alloys results in microstructure refinement and second phase morphology modification, leading to a significant improvement in mechanical properties.…”

Structure, mechanical property and corrosion behaviors of (HA + β-TCP)/Mg–5Sn composite with interpenetrating networks

“…2f. According to the previous researches [24,25], it can be deduced that the bright phase precipitated along the grain boundaries is Mg 2 Sn [ Fig. 2a].…”

“…Meanwhile, the XRD analysis result also demonstrates that no other phases were formed. According to the relevant studies [27,28], Mg-5Sn mainly consists of primary α-Mg and eutectic Mg 2 Sn phases and the sole secondary phase in Mg-Sn system is the Mg 2 Sn phase [25]. As for the HA/Mg and β-TCP/Mg composites, no other reaction phases were detected between the HA or β-TCP and Mg alloys, either [15,29].…”
