Abstract
The microstructure, tensile properties, and creep behavior of Mg–(1–10)wt%Sn alloys were studied in this paper. The microstructure of as-cast Mg–Sn alloys consisted of dendrite α-Mg and second Mg2Sn phases and the secondary dendrite arm spacing (DAS) of the α-Mg phase was decreased with the increase of tin content. The micro-hardness of the alloys increased when tin content rises, while the greatest tensile and elongation were exhibited by Mg–5 wt%Sn. The indentation creep experiments were conducted at 150 °C for applied loads of 30 kg, it suggested that the indentation creep resistance of Mg–Sn alloys could be obviously improved with the increase of tin content, and Mg–10%Sn alloy had better indentation creep resistance than that of AE42.
