In this study, the static recrystallization behavior of cold-rolled Mg-6Al-3Sn alloy has been studied during annealing in the temperature range of 200-400 °C. The role of Mg17Al12 precipitation during recrystallization is discerned. A significant drop in the grain size has been reported post-recrystallization. The results suggest that the recrystallization predominately started at the prior grain boundaries and within the twin boundaries. Recrystallization at lower temperatures was found to be incomplete despite holding for a longer duration. However, at higher temperatures, the recrystallization was observed to be complete in shorter times. The role of concurrent precipitation during recrystallization has been ascertained.
