Abstract

The phase equilibria in the Mg-Zn system from 0 to 85 wt pct Zn and from 335° to 93°C have been redetermined. In this region four intermetallic phases, Mg7Zn3, MgZn, Mg2Zn3, and MgZn2, exist. Below 325°C, the Mg7Zn3 phase decomposes eutectoidally to magnesium solid solution + MgZn. The MgZn phase is stable over the temperature range from 335°C to 93°C; below 325°C, it is in equilibrium with the magnesium solid solution.
