Abstract
In order to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys, silicon-carbide dispersion-strengthened magnesium (SiCp/ Mg), in which SiC particles (SiCp) were milled with pure Mg by an attritor ball mill and used as reinforcement, was produced by hot pressing. Silicon-carbide dispersion strengthening by the mechanical alloying (MA) method in magnesium was investigated. The experimental results are summarized as follows. By raising the milling force of the ball mill in which the pAl2O3/ Mg MA powder of the previous report was made, the density of SiCp/ Mg was made higher than that of the pAl2O3/ Mg of the previous report. The SiCp/ Mg was about 2/3 times as light as the practical aluminum alloys. The hardness of the SiCp/ Mg was about 1.5 times as high as that of the pAl2O3/ Mg and exceeded that of AZ91D, which excels at the mechanical properties in the practical Mg alloys. The highest value was 95HV. The bending strength of the SiCp/ Mg was better than that of the pAl2O3/ Mg. From the analytical results of XRD and SEM-EDAX on the SiCp/ Mg, it is thought that SiCp is almost uniformly finely dispersed in Mg and that the Mg grain becomes superfine.
