In situ Mg-AlN composite has been synthesized by nitrogen gas bubbling method. The morphology of the particles is found to be hexagonal by SEM. The size of the AlN particles is found to be in the range from nano, submicron to a few microns. XRD analysis of the samples confirms the formation of AlN in the melt. Further, the grain size of the magnesium matrix has been reduced by the presence of AlN particles. Hardness of the composite is significantly increased in the particle rich area due to the presence of hard AlN particles.

Magnesium alloys have high specific strength, specific stiffness, excellent thermal conductivity and casting properties, which have a great prospects development in the industry, However, its low plasticity and ductility limited its application. Magnesium matrix composites can effectively improve its performance. Magnesium alloy die-casting is the main forming process, the conventional high-pressure die-casting (HPDC) defects in multi-cavity type, easy to volume gas, non-heat-treated. Compared with HPDC, the rheo-diecasting (RDC) process has been greatly developed for near-net shape components. In this paper, Mg2Si /AM60 composites is fabricated by in-situ synthesis and semi-solid magnesium matrix composites which are rheoformed in the die-casting machine are prepared by mechanical stirring. The results indicate that the microstructure of composites is non-dendritic and Chinese script type Mg2Si are fine distributed. The fundamental morphology of microstructure by HPDC is dendrite and liquid-phase distributed between dendrite irregularly. The RDC samples have close-to-zero porosity, less segregation, the most of semi-solid of microstructure in rheo-diecasting is spherical or as-spherical structure.
