Extensive research work was devoted to Mg-based alloys strengthened by precipitation hardening. In this framework, the Mg-Zn-Sn system was considered a promising candidate for a creep resistant Mg-alloy. Small additions of alloying elements forming high temperature phases (HTP) were used to improve the structural stability of the Mg-Zn-Sn alloy. Phase formation during solidification was analyzed using thermodynamic calculations. The influence of HTP-particles on stabilization of sub-grain boundary structure was found to be of great importance in improving structural stability of the alloys at elevated temperatures. Mechanisms of precipitation hardening were investigated using the modified Langer-Schwartz model calibrated for Mg-Zn-Sn alloys.

There has been sustained interest over the last few years into both the intrinsic (primary and secondary) structure of grain boundaries and the extrinsic structure e.g. the interaction of matrix dislocations with the boundary. Most of the investigations carried out by electron microscopy have involved only the use of information contained in the transmitted image (bright field, dark field, weak beam etc.). Whilst these imaging modes are appropriate to the cases of relatively coarse intrinsic or extrinsic grain boundary dislocation structures, it is apparent that in principle (and indeed in practice, e.g. (1)-(3)) the diffraction patterns from the boundary can give extra independent information about the fine scale periodic intrinsic structure of the boundary.In this paper I shall describe one investigation into each type of structure using the appropriate method of obtaining the necessary information which has been carried out recently at Tribophysics.

This brief review seeks to summarize some of the main property changes which may be induced by altering the grain structure of materials. Where appropriate an interpretation is given of these changes in terms of current theories of grain boundary structure, and some examples from current studies are presented at the end of this paper.
