Abstract
Description
In this article we question the influence of the production method on the
microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium particulate reinforced
composite. Magnesium matrix composite could be produced using either of the four
methods discussed in this article such as ultrasonic vibration, powder metallurgy,
stir casting and Shear compaction processing. The microstructural properties of the
resulting composite benefited greatly from further processing when producing the
composite through liquid metallurgy rout like stir casting method. The choice of
ceramic reinforcement like Silicon carbide significantly improved the mechanical
properties such as hardness, tensile strength but had negative effect on the ductility
of the developed composite.
