We have investigated the effect of double aging and microalloying on the age hardening behavior of a Mg-2.2Sn-0.5Zn alloy. The double aging at 473 K after pre-aging at 343 K lead to an increased peak hardness to more than 80 HV as a result of the refinement of the polygonal Mg2Sn precipitates by the heterogeneous nucleation at densely dispersed MgZn2 precipitates. The age hardening response of the Mg-2.2Sn-0.5Zn alloy was further enhanced by microalloying with 0.2Cu (at.%), 0.2Ca-0.2Ag-0.2Zr or 1.0Al. In particular, the peak hardness of the Mg-2.2Sn-0.5Zn-1.0Al alloy was 95 HV at 433K. which was attributed to the synergy effect of the dispersion of the fine rod and polygonal Mg2Sn precipitates and solution hardening with Al.
