AZ91D magnesium alloy chips were coated with SiC powder using a binder, and injection molding was attempted using SiC powder coated magnesium chips as raw material. The metallurgical structure of the injection molded products showed uniform dispersion of SiC particles in the matrix, and there were no significant defects such as voids at the SiC particle-matrix interface. The hardness and 0.2% proof stress of the injection molded products tended to improve with increasing SiC content, while the elongation decreased with increasing SiC content. The Young's modulus of the injection molded products improved with increasing SiC content. It was confirmed that the specific bending rigidity of the injection molded products also improves due to the significant increase in the Young's modulus, although the addition of SiC leads to an increase in density.
