A review of the design, processes, and properties of Mg-based composites

Abstract Magnesium-based composites are promising materials that can achieve higher strength, modulus, stiffness, and wear resistance by using metals, ceramics, nanoscale carbon-based as reinforcements. In the last few decades, high-performance magnesium-based with excellent interfacial bonding uniformly distributed reinforcements have been successfully synthesized different techniques. The yield Young’s elongation of SiC nanoparticle-reinforced Mg reached ∼710 MPa, ∼86 GPa, ∼50%, respectively, which highest reported values for Mg-based composites. present work summarizes commonly used magnesium composites, particularly nano-reinforcements. fabrication processes, mechanical properties, reinforcement dispersion, strengthening mechanisms, interface optimization these introduced, factors affecting properties explained. Finally, scope future research in this field is discussed.
