“…Recently, aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), especially Mg 2 Si-particle-reinforced aluminum matrix alloys, have attracted considerable attention due to their high specific strength, excellent wear, and anticorrosion resistance in structural components in the aerospace and automotive fields [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. As an advanced intermetallic compound, Mg 2 Si possesses excellent properties, including high hardness (4.5 × 10 9 N m −2 ), low density (1.99 × 10 3 kg m −3 ), low thermal expansion coefficient (7.5 × 10 −6 K −1 ), and a suitable elastic modulus (120 GPa), meaning it has been regarded as an intriguing candidate for use in structural applications [ 4 , 5 ].…”
