Development and Characterization of AZ31B Mg Alloy Using Powder Metallurgy Technique Followed by Hot Extrusion

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study AZ31B Mg alloy is developed by powder metallurgy route followed by hot extrusion. The extruded materials were characterized for microstructure, X-ray diffraction (XRD), density, porosity and mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, impact and micro hardness. The SEM analysis of fractured surface of AZ31B Mg alloy showed quasi-cleavage fracture mode.
