| Abstract: | In the present work, Mg-Zn-Cu alloy (ZC63) and its saffil alumina short fibre reinforced composites produced using the squeeze
casting technique were evaluated for their properties. The unreinforced base alloys and their composites were characterized
for their microstructure, hardness, yield strength, impact strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The dependence
of the properties of composites was studied as a function of fibre volume fraction. Results showed that the composites exhibited
improved hardness, yield strength at elevated temperature and wear resistance in comparison to the monolithic alloy. However,
ductility, impact strength and corrosion resistance of the composites were inferior to that of the base alloy. The nature
of the base alloy matrix in determining the properties of the composites was discussed based on fractographic analysis. |
