In this work, ZA-27 alloy was fabricated and solid solution treatment at 120, 240 and 360 °C for 1 hr., microstructure and physical properties of alloy were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy. Results observed that the microstructure of ZA-27 alloy manufactured (as-cast) was composed of α, β, η and ε phases, then decomposed to β phase at 360 oC. The heat treatment of ZA-27 alloys influenced on microstructure, decreasing of strength and hardness, but also causes increasing of elongation. The wear rates of changes increase with increasing solid solution treatment
