Mg-Al-Zn alloys have been reinforced with carbon fibres using either theliquid stateprocess of squeeze casting (SC), or friction stir processing (FSP), asolid stateprocess developed more recently and that appears as a promising alternative for the large-scale production of C-Mg composites. Both processes have shown their ability to produce sound composites with enhanced strength compared to the non-reinforced alloys. In SC composites, the unsized woven C fabric remains intact while in the FSP composites the sized C fabric is fragmented in short fibres, with an aspect ratio typically equal to 4, homogenously distributed in the Mg alloy matrix.
