Abstract

This paper presents the processing of magnesium alloys and its composite through different stir casting technologies. Design and development of stir casting technology that is suitable for processing of magnesium alloys has been done in this study. The low-cost stir casting processing of magnesium alloy and its composite with flux and without flux has been explained. The magnesium alloy and its composite have been fabricated by both the stir casting process. The micro structural characterization and mechanical properties of the developed composites has been evaluated. The optical emission spectroscopy of the developed alloy and factography of the developed alloy as well as composite was also examined. Keywords: Metal matrix composite, Magnesium alloys, Stir casting, Composite
