Enhancing the Mechanical Properties of AZ31D Alloy by Reinforcing Nanosilicon Carbide/Graphite

Magnesium-based alloys were more prevalent in automobile applications owing to their mechanical properties, low mass, and density. However, its poor properties are restricting applications. Therefore, the present study focuses on improving of AZ31D alloy by reinforcing silicon carbide (SiC) graphite (Gr) nanoparticles with weight fractions 2%, 4%, 6% using stir-casting technique. The microstructure analysis was performed a scanning electron microscope. elemental confirmed energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction used various phases nanocomposites. Further, such as microhardness, ultimate tensile strength, yield compression strength nanocomposites, significantly improved 53%, 59%, 62%, 82%, respectively, compared base alloy.
