Investigating the influence of SiC and B4C reinforcements on the mechanical and microstructural properties of stir-casted magnesium hybrid composites by Srilatha Nimmagadda, Somayajula Venkata Satya Prasad, Sahithi Vaka Venkata Durga, Chandan Polakonda, Cheruku Abhinav

“…Three hybrid Mg composites, MC1 (Mg-2 wt% SiC-3 wt% B4C), MC2 (Mg-3 wt% SiC-2 wt% B4C), and MC3 (Mg-2.5 wt% SiC-2.5 wt% B4C) were fabricated to evaluate the influence of variations in reinforcement ratios on mechanical, microstructural and hardness of the composites. Results showed that magnesium composite MC2 exhibited the highest compressive strength and microhardness, which is attributed to the optimal load transfer and refined grains by SiC, whereas MC3 achieved the best ultimate tensile strength. …”
