Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x content-type="archive" xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Properties of Mg–<italic>x</italic>Al–5Sn–0·3Mn alloys (<italic>x</italic> = 1, 3, 6 and 9) prepared by hot extrusion are reported. The orientation relationship between Mg₂Sn precipitate and Mg matrix in Mg–9Al–5Sn–0·3Mn alloy was determined. The yield strength of the as extruded alloys initially decreased with increasing Al content, then increased for Al contents &gt;6 wt-%. These changes are interpreted in terms of the effect of texture, grain size and second phase on the yield strength of the alloys.</p> </abstract>
