Enhancing the Properties of Magnesium using SiC Particulates in Sub‐micron Length Scale

A novel method of Disintegrated Melt Deposition technique (see Figure) was used to synthesize the magnesium composites containing sub‐micron size SiC particulates. The enhanced mechanical and thermal properties are attributed to the uniform distribution of sub‐micron size SiC particulates and good SiC‐Mg interfacial integrity. The results revealed that SiC particulates in submicron length scale are superior in improving overall properties of magnesium when compared to SiC particulates in micron length scale.
