Abstract
A tin-containing magnesium-aluminum-manganese (Mg—Al—Mn) based alloy that provides a desired combination of strength and ductility so as to be particularly suited for structural applications. The alloy includes magnesium, aluminum, and manganese in combination and about 0.5% to about 3.5% tin. The tin addition improves strength without substantial loss of ductility.
