Abstract: Mg2Si/AZ91D magnesium matrix composites are fabricated from AZ91D-Al2(SiO3)3 system by direct melt reaction method. The effects of the variation Al2(SiO3)3 addition contents to the microstructures and mechanical properties of the composites are investigated. The results show that the amounts of Mg2Si particles are increased and the structures of AZ91D magnesium alloy are refined with the Al2(SiO3)3 content increasing. When the additional content of Al2(SiO3)3 is 3wt.%, the tensile strength of the composite reaches 178.6MPa, which is increased by nearly 14.5% than that of AZ91D matrix alloy.
