Fabrication and Characterization of Short Carbon Fiber Reinforced AZ91 Mg Alloy Composites

Abstract:

Short carbon ﬁber reinforced AZ91 magnesium alloy matrix composites have been made by stir casting technique. The microstructure and the fibre matrix interfacial region of the composites characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopes reveal uniform distribution of fiber in the matrix and good interfacial bonding respectively. Increase in compressive strength values are observed with increase in fiber content where as the room and high temperature (150°C) strength properties are found to decrease marginally. The microfractograph of the tensile fractured surface reveals mixed type of fracture.
