Abstract

Composites are widely used in many automotive, nuclear technologies, shipping industries and aerospace structures due to their greater weight savings. Due to their high cost engine components and automotive applications uses composites reinforced with short or long fibers to reduce the cost. This could be achieved by reinforcing the Mg-composites with a high strength component. This work aims at the experimental evaluation of mechanical and thermal behavior of Mg-composites. The specimens were prepared by powder metallurgy compaction technique. The micro structural analysis, optical imaging and micro hardness test shows that there is no reaction or grain growth in the specimen prepared. The micro hardness of composite increased and wear resistance improved by 10% than that of aluminum composite.
