### **Product Introduction: Magnesium Tin Master Alloy (Mg-Sn Alloy)**
**Product Names:**
- Magnesium Tin Master Alloy
- Mg-Sn Alloy
- MgSn5, MgSn10, MgSn20
#### **Overview**
Magnesium Tin Master Alloy is a specialized alloying agent designed for the controlled introduction of tin into magnesium melts. Tin serves as an effective alloying element that enhances age-hardening response and improves certain mechanical properties while maintaining good corrosion resistance. The Mg-Sn system forms stable intermetallic compounds that contribute to precipitation strengthening, making it suitable for developing heat-treatable magnesium alloys with balanced properties. This master alloy is particularly valued for its ability to improve strength and thermal stability in cost-effective alloy systems.
#### **Key Features & Advantages**
- **Age Hardening Capability:** Enables significant precipitation strengthening through Mg₂Sn phase formation
- **Improved Strength:** Enhances both room temperature and elevated temperature strength properties
- **Good Thermal Stability:** Maintains mechanical properties at moderately elevated temperatures
- **Cost-Effective Solution:** Provides performance enhancement using economical alloying elements
- **Corrosion Compatibility:** Maintains acceptable corrosion resistance in magnesium alloys
- **Controlled Solubility:** Offers predictable dissolution behavior in magnesium melts
- **Recyclability:** Fully compatible with standard magnesium recycling processes
