摘要

The effect of strontium additions in mass fractions of (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1) % to a magnesium alloy (Mg-3Sn) was investigated in this work. The alloys were gravity cast under a controlled atmosphere. The mechanical properties and the microstructures of the above alloys were examined and recorded. The results revealed that an addition of strontium to the above alloy had significantly affected its microstructure. The X-ray diffraction results showed that in all of the obtained alloys the main phases were alpha-Mg and Mg2Sn, and that the strontium-based intermetallics were not detected. The hardness values increased with the increasing strontium content. The highest yield strength, tensile strength and elongation were exhibited by the Mg-%3Sn-%0.1Sr alloy.
