Abstract:Microstructures of as‐cast and solution‐treated Mg‐xSn (x=2 .18~6 .54) alloys were investiga‐ted .Meanwhile ,the tensile mechanical property ,hardness and impact toughness were tested .The results show that the coarse α‐Mg dendrite among the as‐cast microstructure is refined gradually with increasing the Sn content .Meanwhile ,Mg2Sn phase increases gradually and tends to distribute along grain boundary in the form of continuous network .As‐cast tensile mechanical property and impact toughness at ambient temperature are increased initially ,and then reduced .Tensile strength σb ,elongation δand impact toughness value αnK can reach 151 MPa ,12 .5, and 10 J/cm2 for Mg‐3 .52Sn alloy with the most excellent best prop‐erty ,respectively .At the elevated temperature of 423 K ,σb and δfirst increase to 87 MPa and 19 .0, for Mg‐3 .52Sn alloy ,respectively ,then decrease slightly ,and finally increase to 92 MPa and 15 .5, again for Mg‐6 .54Sn alloy ,respectively .After solution treatment ,Mg2 Sn phase dissolves into α‐Mg matrix com‐pletely .The tensile mechanical property is enhanced slightly and remains almost unchanged at ambient and elevated temperatures ,respectively .T he impact toughness is reduced and enhanced for the low and high Sn contents ,respectively .
