What is The effect of thermal exposure on the microstructure and hardness of as-cast Mg–Zn–Al alloys with Sn addition about?

## Abstract Microstructural evolution and hardness changes of as-cast Mg-6Zn-2Al alloys with Sn addition during prolonged thermal exposure to 150 °C and 200 °C were studied using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and hardness tests. Neither obvious grain growth nor new phases were detected in these alloys during thermal exposure. There were initial precipitation hardening peaks followed by long-term hardness stability during thermal exposure to 150 °C, indicating that all the alloys exhibited excellent microstructural stability. There were two peaks in the hardness vs. annealing time curves of these alloys during thermal exposure to 200 °C, which corresponded to the precipitation of MgZn and Mg~2~Sn. The overall hardness of these alloys decreased with prolonged time, resulting from the aggregation and coarsening of Mg~2~Sn.
