Purpose – This paper aims to study both the mechanical properties and the corrosion behavior of the synthesized in situ (TiC-TiB2) particulates/AZ91 magnesium matrix composite and compare the results with that of the conventional AZ91D alloy. Design/methodology/approach – Scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the surface morphology and crystalline structure. Mechanical compression tests were used to investigate the mechanical performance according to ASTM E9-89a. The corrosion behavior of the synthesized magnesium alloy was examined using both electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques in dilute Harrison solutions. Findings – The microstructure of the Mg composite showed a uniform distribution of reinforcing phases. Also, the reinforcing phases were formed without residual intermediate phases. The addition of titanium and boron carbides not only enhanced the mechanical properties of the matrix but also improve its corrosion behavior. Originality/value – This is the first time that magnesium matrix composite has been to synthesized with TiC and TiB2 particulates starting from starting from Ti and B carbides powder without adding aluminium using practical and low-cost technique (in situ reactive infiltration technique). This paper studies the corrosion behavior of synthesized Mg matrix in dilute Harrison solution and compares the results with that of conventional AZ91D.

Main Deformation

The TiB2/AZ31 magnesium matrix composite was fabricated via self-propagating hightemperature synthesis (SHS) and then hot extruded. The influence of hot extrusion on the microstructure and property of TiB2/AZ31 composites was investigated. The results show that hot extrusion and synthesized TiB2 particles could refine the grain size obviously. The synthesized TiB2 particles are micro- and nano-sized, dispersing homogenously in the matrix. The interface between the matrix and the particles are good bonding. Meanwhile, slip and twinning are the main deformation modes during the hot extrusion. The fracture surface of hot-extruded TiB2/AZ31 magnesium matrix composite has more dimples than the as-cast AZ31 magnesium alloy. The improvement of microstructure seems to be beneficial for the fracture ductility of TiB2/AZ31 magnesium matrix composite.

The Matrix

In-situ micro/nanosized TiB2 and Al2(Y, Gd) particles reinforced magnesium matrix composite was successfully fabricated by addition of Al-Ti-B preform into Mg-Gd-Y-Zn matrix alloy, its microstructures and properties were investigated. The results show that the introduction of Al-Ti-B preform causes the precipitation of Al2(Y, Gd) particles and the SHS synthesis of TiB2 particles which significantly refine solidification structure. The reinforced Al2(Y, Gd) particles with average sizes of 5-8 μm are uniformly distributed throughout the magnesium matrix, and have a good bond to the matrix. Tensile tests indicate that, compared with the former matrix alloy, mechanical properties of the multiple in-situ particles reinforced composite are improved all-roundly.

In-situ ZrB2/AZ91 magnesium matrix composite was successfully synthesized with Al/K2ZrF6+NH4BF4by Direct Melt Reaction (DMR). The microstructures of the ZrB2/AZ91 magnesium matrix composite fabricated by direct melt mixing method were investigated. The results show that the size of ZrB2particles is less than 1μm and even reaches to 100nm and the shape, amount and size of the β-Mg17Al12phase in magnesium matrix composite have been greatly changed due to ZrB2heterogeneous nuclei.

Powder Metallurgy Process

Magnesium matrix composite reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-Al2O3 hybrid reinforcements was successfully fabricated by a novel process. CNTs-Al2O3 in-situ mixture was synthesized by directly growing CNTs on Al2O3 particles acting as the carrier of Ni catalysts via chemical vapour deposition. The influences of Ni catalyst content on the morphology, structure and yield of CNTs were investigated. By powder metallurgy process, the CNTs-Al2O3 in-situ mixture was dispersed in Mg powder to fabricate the CNTs-Al2O3 synergistically reinforced Mg matrix composite. The performance test results showed that, the Mg matrix composite possessed improved mechanical properties, and the strengthening effects of CNTs-Al2O3 in-situ mixture were prior to those of single CNTs or Al2O3 reinforcement. The improvement of mechanical properties was due to that the introduction of Al2O3 can promote the dispersion of CNTs in Mg matrix and improve the interfacial bonding between CNTs and Mg.
