Enhanced Mechanical Properties of SiCw/ SiCp-Reinforced Mg Composites Fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study aims to fabricate SiC whisker (w)/ particle (p)-reinforced magnesium (Mg) composites with enhanced mechanical properties using spark plasma sintering (SPS) methods. It has been confirmed that dispersing state of SiCw can be improved by addition of SiCp. However, due to presence of voids and cracks between the oxide layers, surrounding SiCw/p, and Mg matrix in the composites, SiCw with SiCp cannot contribute to enhance the bending strength of Mg matrix. This issue can be tackled by adding low melting point metals such as Sn into the composites to fill the defects in the composites.
