Abstract: Effects of Cu on microstructure and mechanical properties of hot-extruded Mg-3Sn-1Zn alloy were investigated. The results showed that the grain size of the hot-extruded Mg-3Sn-1Zn alloy was remarkably refined with a small amount of Cu, and the thermostable CuMgZn phase was formed in the alloys. Therefore, the strength and plasticity of the hot-extruded Mg-3Sn-1Zn-xCu alloys improved. The grain of the hot-extruded Mg-3Sn-1Zn-0.5Cu alloy was the finest with a size of 2.8 μm. The tensile yield strength and elongation of the hot-extruded Mg-3Sn-1Zn-0.5Cu alloy at room temperature were 241 MPa and 20.3%, respectively, which were superior to that of the hot-extruded AZ31B alloy. In addition, the tensile yield strength of the Mg-3Sn-1Zn-0.5Cu alloy at 150 ℃ was 128 MPa, which was better than that of as-cast AE42 alloy.
