“…Investigations have also been made on Mg composites containing hybrid reinforcements in the form of ceramic plus metal, ceramic plus ceramic, and ceramic plus carbon nanotube (CNT) besides single ceramic, metal, and CNT reinforcements [11,[13][14][15][16]. In a recent development on magnesium composites, ball-milled amorphous particles were also used as a reinforcement in a pure magnesium matrix [17][18][19].…”

Abstract:The present study reports the development of new magnesium composites containing complex composition alloy (CCA) particles. Materials were synthesized using a powder metallurgy route incorporating hybrid microwave sintering and hot extrusion. The presence and variation in the amount of ball-milled CCA particles (2.5 wt %, 5 wt %, and 7.5 wt %) in a magnesium matrix and their effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-CCA composites were investigated. The use of CCA particle reinforcement effectively led to a significant matrix grain refinement. Uniformly distributed CCA particles were observed in the microstructure of the composites. The refined microstructure coupled with the intrinsically high hardness of CCA particles (406 HV) contributed to the superior mechanical properties of the Mg-CCA composites. A microhardness of 80 HV was achieved in a Mg-7.5HEA (high entropy alloy) composite, which is 1.7 times higher than that of pure Mg. A significant improvement in compressive yield strength (63%) and ultimate compressive strength (79%) in the Mg-7.5CCA composite was achieved when compared to that of pure Mg while maintaining the same ductility level. When compared to ball-milled amorphous particle-reinforced and ceramic-particle-reinforced Mg composites, higher yield and compressive strengths in Mg-CCA composites were achieved at a similar ductility level.

a b s t r a c tNew two-phase tungsten-based composites containing 88 wt% tungsten powders and 12 wt% nearly equiatomic NiTi alloy deforming by martensite variant detwinning were fabricated by infiltration and hot pressing in this study. 53 Nb 5 composite exhibited a double-yielding phenomenon under compression with an ultimate compressive strength of 3820 MPa and a deformation of 50.4%. In-situ synchrotron high-energy Xray diffraction measurements revealed the first yielding was caused by the martensite reorientation of the NiTi matrix and the second was due to the commencement of massive plastic deformation of the reoriented martensite and is also attributed to the microscopic internal fracturing of the W particles.

“…Various types of metallic and ceramic reinforcements of varying sizes were added to the matrix as shown in Table 1. Ni60Nb40 amorphous reinforcement was prepared by mechanically alloying powder mixture of elemental Ni and Nb metals at room temperature in air for 87 h using a planetary ball mill with a ball to powder ratio of 3:1 and milling speed of 200 rpm [10]. Pure magnesium powder and reinforcements were weighed carefully and mixed in a RETSCH PM-400 mechanical alloying machine using a speed of 200 rpm for 1 h. No balls or process control agent was added during the blending step.…”

Microwave energy can be used for the processing of a wide variety of materials. It is used most commonly for the heating of food and has been increasingly applied for processing of polymers; ceramics; metals; minerals and composites. The use of microwave energy allows rapid and volumetric heating where heat is generated from within the material instead of via radiative heat transfer from external heating elements. This paper aims to provide a review on the use of energy efficient and environment friendly microwave energy route to synthesize magnesium based materials reinforced with various types of metallic and ceramic reinforcements. Magnesium composites are extremely attractive for weight critical applications in automotive; aerospace; electronics and transportation sectors. The magnesium composites were prepared using blend-compact-microwave sintering-extrusion methodology. Microwave sintering allowed a significant reduction of 80% in both processing time and energy consumption over conventional sintering without any detrimental effect on the properties of the synthesized magnesium composites. Physical; microstructure and mechanical properties of microwave sintered magnesium composites will also be discussed and compared with magnesium composites processed by conventional liquid and solid processing techniques.
