a number of conclusion can be drawn from the present work:
1.Mechanical alloying under the current investigated conditions gives rise to first the formation of cubic Mg2Sn during sintering
2.Mechanical alloying results in a significant increase in hardness and density of the sintered products compared to unmilled powder.
3.For mechanically alloyed powder green density has a significant effect on the relative amounts of phases produced following sintering.
4.Higher initial green density results in higher final sintered density and hardness for sintered alloys of both mechanically alloyed as well rotator mixed powder.
