The results showed that Ti can decrease the secondary dendrite arm spacing(SDAS). The tensile strength of the Mg-8Sn-1Zn-Ti alloys is initially increased by increasing the Ti content up to 0.09 wt.%, but subsequently decreased for further increase of Ti content. The improved tensile properties are attributed to the decreased SDAS and refi ned Mg_2Sn phases, as well as the increased fraction of tin(Sn) segregated regions. The tensile fracture surface of the studied alloys shows mixed characteristics of cleavage and quasi-cleavage fracture. Adding Ti does not significantly change the fracture mode of the studied alloys.展开更多
