Magnesium alloys containing yttrium and neodymium are known to have high specific strength, good creep and corrosion resistance up to 523 K. The addition of ceramic particles strengthens the metal matrix composite resulting in better wear and creep resistance while maintaining good machinability. In the present study, WE43 magnesium matrix composite reinforced with SiC and carbon particulates were fabricated by stir casting. The microstructure of the composite was investigated by optical microscopy, quantitative metallography, scanning electron microscope and XRD analysis. Microstructure characterization of WE43 MMC showed inhomogeneous reinforcement distribution and presence of shrinkage porosity. Reinforcing particles are well bonded with the matrix, however, in some cases thin reaction layers was detected. The presence of SiC particles assisted in improving hardness.

The thixo-forging of magnesium matrix composite was analyzed with computer numerical simulation based on rigid viscoplastic finite element method. The constitutive model of SiCp/AZ61 composite was established in our prior literature. Behavior of metal flow and temperature field were obtained. The differences between traditional forging and thixo-forging processes were analyzed. Results indicated that thixo-forging was better in filling cavity than forging. Simulation results were good agreement with experimental ones.
