Precipitation-hardenable commercial Mg alloy QE22(Mg-2.5Ag-2.ONd-0.7Zr,wt.%)has excellent mechan-ical properties,but precipitates in this alloy have not been well understood.In this work,precipitate phases γ",γ,and δ formed during the isothermal ageing process at 150,200,250,and 300 ℃ have been characterized using atomic-resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron mi-croscopy and atomic-scale energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.The morphology,crystal structure,and orientation relationship of these precipitate phases have been determined.Domain boundaries usually exist in a single γ particle,which can be characterized by a separation vector of[1(1)01]α.The δ phase forms in situ from its precursor γ phase,consequently leading to the formation of three different variants within a single 8 particle.The nucleation of the δ phase is strongly related to the domain boundaries of the y phase.The formation of the γ phase may be promoted by its precursor γ"phase.The similarities in atomic structures of the γ",γ,and δ phases are described and discussed,indicating that transfor-mations between these precipitate phases can be accomplished through the diffusion of added alloying elements.
