Abstract
Abstract A particulate reinforced magnesium matrix composite prepared with stir casting was subjected to multidirectional forging (MDF). The results showed that after 1 MDF pass the grain size of matrix in the composites decreased compared with as-cast composite, and increased with increasing the MDF temperature from 370 °C to 450 °C. With increasing the MDF passes at 370 °C, the particle distribution of the composite was improved until 3 MDF passes while the grain size of matrix in the composite reached a minimum after 4 MDF passes. Both the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength of the composite were enhanced with increasing the MDF passes.
