Study of Fabrication and Mechanical Characterization of Magnesium Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

Abstract Magnesium matrix composites are used widely because of light weight, higher mechanical, and physical properties and due to that, it is used potentially in numerous applications of aviation and defense organizations. Improving specific strength, stiffness, dampening behavior, wear behavior, shrinkages, and fatigue properties, in comparison with traditional engineering materials, is greatly affected by the integration of reinforcement into the magnesium metal matrix. The present research paper describes the results and merits of various reinforcements in magnesium and its alloy ant it addresses important processes, such as interfacial transformation, agglomeration, fiber-matrix interaction, and the difficulties with the distribution of reinforcement particles. The effect of strengthening on the microstructural and mechanical properties was often discussed in detail, such as Tensile properties, hardness and wear properties of the composites. Furthermore, the development and invention of new magnesium metal matrix composites are challenges for future study. The study of nanocomposites of magnesium matrix is a future research aim for the automotive/aviation sector.
